Executive Summary: The Executive Office provides assistance to the Pawnee Business Council and administrative oversight to the Federal and Tribal programs in areas such as travel and procurement approvals. Since part of the Executive Director and the Executive Administrative Assistant’s salaries are covered by the ATTG contract, there are several deliverables that are met during the course of the day to day business. Some of these deliverables are discussed as follows: Goal The Pawnee Nation will foster a strong, efficient, and stable tribal government. Objective 1: Pawnee Nation’s Executive Office The Pawnee Nation Executive Office supports general governmental operations to a) implement organizational design to assure continued growth and development; b) provide high-level customer service; c) ensure successful operation of the Nation’s fiscal responsibilities; d) coordinate Human Resources Office for personnel administration; e) work with the Division of Natural Resources & Safety to expand on the emergency management plan; f) working with the tribal Planner on strategic planning with the Business Council; g) provides support to the Governing Documents Committee; and h) working with legal counsel and the Tribal Court on the further development of procedures and amendments to the Law and Order codes. Pawnee Nation Executive Office serves many purposes that include: ORGANIZATION WIDE The Executive Office along with the Administrative Affairs Director (which is temporarily vacant) and the Planning Director conduct ongoing assessments of the organizational structures through collaborations with the Division Directors and the Pawnee Business Council and evaluations of the divisions in regard to the effectiveness of each program within divisions in order to provide high-level customer service to Pawnee citizens.
