Leadership means being an advocate for the customers, communities, & industries we serve.

RRD's External Affairs Group works to accomplish three important missions:

  1. To make a positive difference in the communities in which our employees work and live, acting in concert with our valuable customers whenever possible, as we enable donations of time, talent and money.
  2. To help our sales professionals successfully do business with local, state, and federal governments and to involve qualified diversity partners as we serve customers in both the private and public sector.
  3. To be a strong voice for RRD in the public arena, as an advocate for changes that will increase our competitiveness and help us better to serve our customers.
