BoardDocs and Diligent
Sacramento City College has transitioned to Diligent Community!
We are excited to announce that Sacramento City College has adopted Diligent Community as our new board management software. This platform has replaced Board Docs and is designed to help keep our community more connected, informed, and engaged by offering improved access to important information and streamlined processes.
The platform allows you to explore meeting agendas, minutes, policies, and other documents through a new, easy-to-use public site.
Having adopted Diligent Community, we have replaced BoardDocs with a comparable system that supports well-informed decision-making for the benefit of our community.
What is Diligent Community?
Diligent Community is a governance solution built for public organizations like ours. It will help centralize and simplify many of our tasks, including:
- Accessing documents anytime, anywhere with a mobile-friendly interface
- Creating agendas with autosave and efficient print features
- Providing an enhanced member experience with advanced annotation tools
Diligent Community (Public Site)
SCC has moved from the BoardDocs platform to Diligent Community. Access to both platforms will be available during the transition and training period.

Committee Tri-Chairs will have access and training to manage agendas, minutes and other meeting documentation. Requires SSO sign-in. To request access to the portal, contact Alma Mejia at MejiaA@scc.losrios.edu.
Diligent Training Hub
From in-depth eLearning courses, quick-hit videos and step-by-step guides to live web training sessions, you’ll find practical, role-based learning designed to fit your schedule and learning style.
BoardDocs
