Maggie Cawley serves as the Executive Director for OpenStreetMap US, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the democratization of geospatial data by catalyzing collaborative action around OpenStreetMap (the crowdsourced map of the world). She joined OSM US in 2019 after 15 years as a geospatial professional, with a focus on education, urban planning and community engagement. Maggie also serves as the Chair of the National Geospatial Advisory Committee, where she works to foster the innovation and collaboration that is critical in shaping and advancing national geospatial policy. 

Maggie currently lives in Virginia where she loves to explore its waterways, trails and bike paths with her copilot Bean. She splits her time between Richmond and an old farmhouse on the Chesapeake Bay, which “has lots of potential”... she’s been renovating it one day at a time, and some day it might actually transform into an herbal tea farm! A map lover from an early age, Maggie holds a MA in Urban and Regional Planning from Virginia Commonwealth University and a BA in International Studies from the University of Richmond.
