- Works closely with the APF Director to plan and implement APF activity in the districts.
- Meets once a year to develop stewardship strategies, receive training and become more informed about the UUA. Other training and strategy meetings may also be scheduled.

- Acts as a liaison between the UUA and member congregations, answering questions about the APF and the UUA, informing congregations of UUA services and resources and assuring them of the UUA's financial accountability by providing information about programs and expenditures.
