Who Is RIEP?
Previous to November 2019 there was a patchwork of organizations and business leaders supporting various rural islands, but no official channels for facilitating cooperation between ALL rural island stakeholders, until the 2019 RIEP Forum. In November 2019, the inaugural RIEP Forum event led to the formation of the Rural Islands Economic Partnership (RIEP).
RIEP has since become THE connector organization - a unified voice for value-based and sustainable economic development across the islands through collaboration, engagement and advocacy.
Watch a wrap-up of RIEP Forum 2021 and learn more about the power of regional collaboration!
