PS for the - like me - uninitiated... http://www.thersa.org/fellowship (no, I'm not on commission!) From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK. [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John McMahon Sent: 31 March 2014 16:27 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: The RSA - worth becoming a Fellow, for heritage professionals? Hi all, quick afternoon question - Are any of you goodly Gemmers also Fellows of the RSA? I've been getting quite a lot of messages from them lately promoting the programme, as I took part in a user-testing of their new Fellows website in December; also, being based in that London, I do get to a few of their highly august lectures and discussion sessions a year. I'm curious as to what value people feel they derive from Fellowship - does it really make you feel part of a wider community, and has this expansion of your nominal network brought genuine returns? Any particular synergies (or challenges!) for heritage-learning professionals? Anything else to recommend it?
