Maura Freeman is Rivian’s Public Policy Lead based at the manufacturing plant in Normal, IL. Originally from Danville, IL, Maura moved around the country before settling back into her home state, where she earned her bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois Springfield and her master’s degree from Illinois State University. Maura is deeply committed to the Ronald McDonald House mission, and cherishes the opportunity to give back and support families in need—in part because she and her family benefited directly from the Chicago House during a hospital stay in 2012. In her free time, Maura enjoys knitting, volunteering, and campaigning for social change in her community. Maura joined the board in 2023.

“Maura is passionate about the mission of Ronald McDonald House Charities. Her experience and perspective make her another wonderful addition to the RMHCCI Board.” says RMHCCI Chief Executive Officer, Amber Kaylor

“Maura is a passionate leader with a focus on helping families. We’re delighted that she’s joining the RMH Board and sharing her insight and experiences.” Says RMHCCI Board Chair, Mark Denzler.
