Robert Ashton commented on Sarah Tucker's group 'Social Entrepreneurs Network'
"Well Adrian, it's flattering to be asked and no one will think ill of you if you become a member. I would not though, as I have a policy of not joining anything with political or overtly religious links."

Robert Ashton commented on Sarah Tucker's group 'Social Entrepreneurs Network'
"Adrian's example of McDonalds performing better than many social enterprises in terms of making positive change is surely more about leading than shaming. My view has always been that what you do matters more than what you are and that's…"

Review of RSA Fellowship nings, social networks

Over the next few months the RSAde Group will be consolidating regional social networks and nings. The aim will be to improve connectivity for Fellows, improve communication and reduce fragmentation. 

Therefore there will be an increase of regional and thematic groups over the next few months.

If you would like further information on these changes please contact the RSAde team via the Digital Engagement group on this network.
