- Branch of Creativity (e.g., innovated new ways to collect batteries, promoted TAE & 1MB creatively with tangible results)
- Branch of Collaboration (e.g., led to the opening of new branches, coached new branches, led and collaborated for joint activities)
- Branch of Outreach (e.g., introduced TAE to new people, established new partnership with TAE)
