PURPOSE

The primary purpose of the ASC is to provide tech- nical assistance and training to all political subdivi- sions of the Navajo Nation.

In regards to non-governance certified Chapters, the ASC will provide administrative support and assist Chapters in becoming governance certified.

For governance certified Chapters that gain more local autonomy, the ASC’s role is reduced but the ASC will continue to monitor funds appropriated by the Navajo Nation Council.

Another purpose of the ASC is to serve as a commu- nication nexus between the political subdivisions and any Navajo Nation governmental entity.

The overall purpose of the ASC is to help all political subdivisions to become successful self-sustaining community governments.

Goals of the ASC

Train and provide technical assistance to Chapters by incorporating the Local Governance Act (LGA), Title 26 into the Chapter’s policies and procedures.
Enhance Administrative Support
Enhance Professional Development and Team Building
Promote Financial Accountability
