The cardinal objective of the N.B.A is to promote the Rule of Law. I will at all times assist the NBA President in ensuring the promotion of the Rule of Law, Good Governance, Equity, Fairness and Justice prevail in our society.
Thus, the primary responsibility of the 1st Vice President is to assist the NBA President and any other role that may be assigned by the President.
