About

Maggie Cawley serves as the Executive Director of OpenStreetMap US, the nonprofit advancing the growth, sustainability, and public impact of OpenStreetMap nationwide.

She advocates for investment in community-led mapping and open data infrastructure to create more inclusive and innovative solutions for all, and works to build partnerships and drive initiatives that make mapping more accessible and impactful. Maggie also serves as the Chair of the National Geospatial Advisory Committee, where she works to foster the collaboration and innovation that is critical in shaping U.S. geospatial policy.

  • Surviving and Thriving

    Nov. 18 '26, 03:00pm Conversation Offset Bar

    How do you survive an institutional crisis? Reinvent yourself amid a changing landscape? And what's the role of imagery in your success and resilience — the same today, or changed along the way? This session sits down with leaders who've been through it: the funding cliffs, the mission pivots, the moments an organization had to become something different to keep going.
