Catherine Bracy
A veteran of the Knight Foundation, Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, and most notably the technology field office of the 2012 Obama presidential campaign, Catherine Bracy spends most of her time at the crossroads of technology and public service. Currently, she’s responsible for developing international projects at Code for America, a non-profit organisation that aims to bring citizens and local government closer together through the use of technology. CfA itself is near and dear to our hearts, as it inspired us to organise last year’s Hackathon that led to the Otwarta Małopolska project.
Catherine’s role is to engage with the growing open government movement that is engaging citizens and governments in the process of governing all over the world. Even though CfA is a relatively young organisation, Catherine says that the time is right to get together, share experience and build new tools and resources that everyone can benefit from.
