Resource Development Team
The resource development team of the OMD oversees the fundraising of the district. They oversee the Chalice Lighter program, recommending to the board one applicant each quarter. They also oversee the Friends of the OMD program and other grant programs as they come up. In addition, they educate congregations about the need to be fair share to the UUA Annual Program Fund and OMD District Dues and provide for congregations who meet this goal to be recognized.
To learn more about the programs of the Resource Development team, visit the Chalice Lighter's Page or the Friends of the OMD Page. To learn more about the Annual Program Fund of the UUA visit the APF Page.

Fair share congregations pay the full amount per certifed congregation member. For 2009-10 for the UUA Annual Program Fund the amount is $56 per member, for District Dues, the amount is $21 per member.
We are very proud to announce that 61% of our congregation were fair share for fiscal year 2008-09 for the UUA Annual Program Fund and 77% of our congregations were fair share for fiscal year 2008-09to the Ohio-Meadville District. In addition, the West Virginia congregations made West Virginia our first Full Fair Share State.
