St. Mary’s Launches New Platform for Accessing Meeting Documents

St. Mary’s County has launched a new digital platform to enhance public access to meeting documents and to strengthen transparency in local government operations.

The county has transitioned its online meeting document system from the previous BoardDocs platform to the modernized Diligent platform, which serves as a critical access point for residents to review agendas, minutes, and supporting materials for boards, commissions, and committees—including the St. Mary’s commissioners, Planning Commission, Board of Appeals, and more.

The upgraded system introduces a next-generation interface that is ADA-compliant, user-friendly, and optimized for both desktop and mobile devices. Residents can now enjoy faster search capabilities and improved mobile downloads of meeting materials, making it easier than ever to stay informed and engaged in county business.

The platform is available to the public and serves as a comprehensive online library of official meeting documents. Community members can access it directly from the county’s homepage at www.stmaryscountymd.gov by clicking the “Board Documents” button.
