Board Docs Transition to Diligent 

The District is pleased to announce that we are transitioning to the Diligent Community as our new platform for governance and committee meeting management. As part of this transition, we will be retiring our current agenda management platform, BoardDocs. 

All current and historical Board agendas have been migrated to the Diligent Community. Beginning August 1, all Board meetings will be managed through the new platform, and both current and past Board agendas will be available through Diligent Community. Board Policies and Administrative Procedures will remain available in BoardDocs until the final phase of the policy migration is complete. We will provide additional information as that phase of the transition is finalized. 

Our college sites are also working with their respective committees to ensure committee members are provided with the appropriate access in Diligent Community. If you serve on a committee, you can expect to receive access as your site’s implementation is completed. 

To access the new platform, please use the following link: 

Diligent Community Portal 

Thank you for your support and patience as we complete this important transition to our new governance and agenda management platform.
