2. Motivate zones to do likewise,
   
3. Bring forth, among all patrollers, patrols, and zones alike, the willingness to support National programs in an energetic and creative fashion.

Consistent with the broad objectives above, the executive must demonstrate its ability to satisfy the administrative functions necessary in the context of a National entity, and must also demonstrate that it has motivated its zones to do likewise, all in a prompt and efficient manner.
