For Modern Governance 100 honoree Jaime Durkowski, serving as Executive Administrative Assistant for Marquardt School District 15 in Glendale Heights, Illinois, has always been a balancing act. Durkowski has to support board members in their work while also upholding a high level of public transparency. Previously, all this work was done on paper — taking significant time and energy.
“Everything was done on paper,” Durkowski said. “They were delivering packets to board members’ houses — I can’t imagine doing that.”
Since switching to Diligent Community, District 15 has been able to better pursue its mission of providing the best services and education to children with:
An agenda builder that allows for simplified prep and easy agenda access for board members and community members alike
Easy-to-use website-building tools that quickly help create and maintain a public transparency website
A platform for taking minutes and publishing them easily with no need for paper-based work
Diligent Community helps Durkowksi equip her board more efficiently with the information they need to make better decisions for the school district.
“Through Diligent I have found that my workload is easier. It provides us with a platform to easily get information out to our community and help support their understanding of our district,” Durkowski said.
