Vigo County School Corporation increases board member engagement with Diligent Community

Vigo County School Corporation (VCSC) were looking for a board management solution that would engage board members more effectively while also streamlining the preparation of documents and agendas for board meetings, executive sessions and committee meetings.

Their challenges included:

• Keeping board members actively engaged with their hectic schedules and other professional and personal demands
• Gathering all the data and information necessary for multiple agendas and packets was very time-consuming and required a high level of accuracy
• Delivering transparency and information to corporation leaders, community stakeholders and members of the local news media

VCSC identified Diligent Community as the preferred solution based on ease of implementation, investment cost and outstanding customer service.

“The features that we have seen to be crucial in keeping board members and community stakeholders actively involved include the ability to easily access information and keep up to date on meeting schedules and topics.” – Catherine Hill, Executive Secretary to the Superintendent of Schools and the Vigo County Board of School Trustees

Since implementation, board members have embraced Diligent Community and have experienced significant benefits such as faster access to documents and agendas, more timely updates, enhanced communications and the ability to interact more effectively with school district administrators. All of this has resulted in increased board member engagement.
