STAKEHOLDER PLAYBOOK
3. Highlights Stakeholder Portal: The Stakeholder Portal is our secure online Stakeholder portal that allows Stakeholders to access specific information and resources related to their membership, including access to upcoming events, Digital RICE, and the RICE Stakeholder Business Director. Industry Tribes: Industry Tribes facilitate productive interactions between like-minded Stakeholders in similar industries. Tribe Council: The Tribe Council is a group of leaders in the Stakeholder community that meets regularly to develop event and community engagement ideas, compile Stakeholders’ feedback and share it with RICE staff. The Stakeholder council consists of one representative from each industry tribe. Get involved in the council by emailing engagement@russellcenter.org to find out your next industry tribe meeting. Dedicated Relationship Managers: Serve as the initial point of contact for Stakeholders to provide excellent customer service and critical information. Their role is to stay engaged with Stakeholders to ensure their awareness of and connection to available RICE resources and support their short-term and long-term progress throughout their business journey. Community Events: RICE Events offer a range of opportunities for Stakeholders to connect, learn, and celebrate. Our coworking events provide a collaborative workspace for Stakeholders to collaborate with like-minded individuals. In contrast, our networking events are perfect for building professional relationships and expanding your business network. And finally, we love to have fun and celebrate milestones and accomplishments with our RICE family. 4. Key Benefits: Community Engagement: Collaborating on community initiatives within a network enhances your business’s image and strengthens community ties. Shared Resources: Networks often facilitate resource- sharing, such as contacts, expertise, and tools, reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency.
