[Talk-us] Kathleen starting with community outreach for OSM-US

[Kathleen Danielson]

Hey Everyone--

I'm really excited to work more with the local OSM groups in the coming
weeks and months. My first plan is to do research on what communities are
already out there and figure out how OSM-US can be supporting each of you.
I'm also really interested in how the different local groups might connect
with each other as well back to the US Chapter itself. I'm really excited
to highlight the great work that all of you are doing, and share best
practices/lessons learned with other communities around the country.

Like Alex said, those of you who are running a local community should
expect to hear from me soon, but don't hesitate to reach out to me sooner
if you want to and get the conversation started!
