As part of our ongoing effort to foster deeper social connections, we at #RSAUS are thrilled to host Get Connected on Dec. 5. This event is an opportunity to strengthen, build, and support meaningful relationships within the US Fellowship community. At a time when loneliness, polarization, and a crisis of civic life are at their peak, these 60-minute gatherings are designed to bring people together—to reflect, connect, and support one another in intentional ways. If you are part of our Fellowship community and value connection, we would be honored to have you join us! Whether you're a professional, student, activist, or someone looking to meet new friends, this session is for you. Together, we’ll build a space where relationships flourish, insights are shared, and we leave feeling inspired and supported. Join us for meaningful dialogue, celebration, and connection. We can’t wait to see you there! https://lnkd.in/gevss85G #RelationshipBuilding #LonelinessAwareness #IntentionalConnections #CommunityBuilding #SocialConnections

As the year comes to a close, at RSA US, we invite you to slow down, #connect, and #reflect with us.

We’ll kick off with a welcoming activity to break the ice and set the tone for #authenticconnection.

Join the Augmented Society Network on November 21 for an important conversation led by Zo? Camper FRSA and Julie Samuels FRSA about the role of audio surveillance in the workplace. Video surveillance has long been a part of our cities and public spaces, but now audio surveillance has become ubiquitous, extending into our homes and offices, listening to both our best and less-than-best moments. While it may be expected in personal spaces, its presence in the workplace is a new and concerning development, especially with AI tools like Otter and Copilot. These technologies record and summarize meetings, then share the content with those in charge. Have you ever made an off-the-cuff comment in a meeting that wasn’t meant to be shared? Imagine your words being transcribed, summarized by an AI, and sent as a report to a boss who wasn’t present. This opens an entirely new frontier that demands discussion. The impact of this technology needs to be fully understood by everyone involved, not just those receiving the meeting notes. #WorkplaceTechnology #AudioSurveillance #DigitalWorkplace #TechTalk #WorkplaceSafety Register here: https://lnkd.in/g3qHtz5W

In honor of Veterans Day, the RSA US office will be closed on Monday, November 11, 2024.

We know many, including our team, are grappling with intense feelings following the election. At a time of such powerful division, regardless of your political affiliation, we recognize and honor where you find yourself as you read this and offer our #commitment to creating #safe and #inclusive spaces for civil dialogue and discussion. So much of our work together and through our Fellowship network is focused on creating avenues for #authentic #connection, discovering our agency, finding allies, re-discovering a sense of #purpose and building a microcosm of the type of #civic culture we would like to see in the world.? For us, the work of bridging divides - across disciplines, cultures, geographies, political and religious views, and economic circumstance - is paramount as we look for common ground to #improve society. We are excited to continue to partner with our Fellows in the work ahead. Now more than ever, our actions (big or small) have the potential to inform an American culture that is wrestling with itself and its next chapter.?? - RSA US Team
