Spanish term

referentes

Spanish to English Other Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
"Tenemos una comunicación abierta de ida y vuelta con la comunidad a través de diferentes instancias (días abiertos, visitas a operaciones, reuniones con referentes, etc.)."

I've seen this translated as "referents", but I'm not sure if it is correct in English. What is meant here by "referentes" in Spanish is any person, group or organization that can serve as a model, benchmark or leader in a specific field/topic

Referente
El término referente presenta diversos significados. Uno de ellos es para hacer referencia de algo, es decir cuando un objeto o individuo son referencia de algo o presentan relación con algo. De igual manera se habla de referente cuando una persona por X circunstancias, resalta en alguna actividad o profesión y por ende se transforma en el mejor en lo que hace, convirtiéndose entonces, en un ejemplo a seguir para aquellos que realizan la misma labor.

stakeholders

I think it works in the context (social science jargon for anyone interested in whatever it is they're describing).
Stakeholder: a person with an interest or concern in something, especially a business.
"Who are community stakeholders? They are generally defined as people, groups, organizations or businesses that have interest or concern in the community. Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the community’s actions, objectives and policies."

"Some examples of key community stakeholders are residents, community groups, developers , government workers (and the agencies they represent), business owners, neighborhood leaders, commission members and other groups from which the community draws its resources."

Thanks, although I think patinba's suggestion is better.
neutral patinba : We always ask for context, but we don't always read it ...

Cheek; the context is Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, a field beset by jargon. I agree your option is better though.
neutral philgoddard : English references don't work - we already know that this word exists.
