The Alamo Navajo School Board, Inc. (ANSB), is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, and the applicant as well as the lead partner and fiscal agent.  The applicant meets the requirement to ensure the project will improve the career and technical education programs” and coordinate efforts made by the Tribal economic development plans.
