Arizona State University and the League of Arizona Cities and Towns offer the annual Newly Elected Officials (NEO) orientation program.
This program, offered for the first time in 1998, acquaints newly elected officials with the responsibilities and obligations of serving in municipal office and provides them with the opportunity to:
- Basics of municipal government;
- Arizona government structure;
- Municipal budgeting;
- Ethical and legal issues;
- Public policy process.
Now entering its third year, the ASU American Indian Newly Elected Officials (AINEO) orientation program has served over 50 tribal leaders from Arizona with national speakers from Indian country across the U.S. The AINEO serves as a forum for tribal leaders to exchange ideas and experiences and to expand contacts for the future.
AINEO collaborates with the Intertribal Council of Arizona (ITCA), the ASU American Indian Policy Institute and ASU American Indian Law Clinic to provide tribal leaders with information regarding tribal governance, policy development and other issues.
As part of Arizona State University's ongoing commitment to encouraging civic participation, the Office of Public Affairs sponsors Citizens Clean Elections Commission debates during the Primary and General election cycles.
