Between 2010 and 2019, the ASU American Indian Policy Institute (AIPI) and Native American Finance Officers Association (NAFOA) co-hosted the Tribal Financial Manager Certificate trainings at Arizona State University.
At this time, this training is no longer offered, and there are no plans to offer it in the future. This certificate training for tribal government financial management professionals--a component of our Tribal Economic Leadership Program--provides an in-depth background in tribal government finance, Indian law, taxation, and economic development. Attendees can earn up to 20 CPE credits.
