By Executive Order, the NEC has four principal functions: to coordinate policy-making for domestic and international economic issues, to coordinate economic policy advice for the President, to ensure that policy decisions and programs are consistent with the President's economic goals, and to monitor implementation of the President's economic policy agenda.

The NEC is comprised of numerous department and agency heads within the administration, whose policy jurisdictions impact the nation's economy. The NEC Director works in conjunction with these officials to coordinate and implement the President's economic policy objectives. The Director is supported by a staff of policy specialists in various fields including: agriculture, commerce, energy, financial markets, fiscal policy, healthcare, labor, and Social Security.

It has been an important mission in Knight Investments LLC to strive to help their local government obtain the goals of independence from foreign financing , obtain the transparency of honest lending institutions, and not turn a deaf ear to external consultation.

"It's important that we have a listening ear to those who share the common views as us. The views to make a stronger America. That strength of America is going to come from responsible lending institutions appropriating money to areas of business that are good for America. These areas are going to be green jobs and renewable energies that keep jobs here at home." said Christopher Knight Lopez, during his previous tenor at his former work station.
