DESCRIPTION:As the Executive Director and Program Coordinator at OpenStreet
 Map US\, Maggie and Alyssa are lucky to say OpenStreetMap is their full-ti
 me job. OpenStreetMap US is both a local chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foun
 dation\, and an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the United
  States. This presentation will explore how OpenStreetMap US has evolved t
 he organization’s approach to community building\, as communities of map
 pers emerge and dissolve across the United States.\n\nA few topics that wi
 ll be covered in this talk include:\n- OSM US membership structure\n- Evol
 ution of the Board of Directors\n- Hiring paid staff\n- Community engageme
 nt initiatives (surveys\, blog posts\, etc)\n\nWhether you are a leader of
  another OSMF Local Chapter or the only mapper in a 100 mile (sorry - kilo
 meter) radius\, you’re invited to explore what it means to build a mappi
 ng community with us.
