NEOUPA, now, Usability Professionals Association (UXPA) – Celebrating World Usability Day

Print • eMarketing • Event Invitation and More

NEOUPA – World Usability Day 2008. Here you can find information on upcoming events, how to participate, and ways to get involved with World Usability Day.

I became involved in two ways. First I took on an active leadership role as the Experience Chair. Chair for NEOUPA (North Eastern Ohio Usability Professionals Association) and AIGA, The Professional Association for Design. During my term(s), serving both organizations simultaneously, I set goals and established the direction for learning, research, and usability sessions focused on enhancing the user experience. Secondly, I chartered a new course for the two associations by emphasizing the exploration, mastery and integration of three key disciplines: user experience, design, and development. I identified overlapping and distinct skills, worked to enhance and update professional skills, and promoted interdisciplinary collaboration amongst professions in each field. The objective was to bring individuals together, foster collaboration, and enable professionals to deliver exceptional user experiences.

One way to spread the message and direction was through World Usability Day. Here you will find an example of marketing slip, informing the general association, non-members and leaders in the area. Although it’s been many years since my time as chair, I enjoyed learning and networking with other professionals. Today, I retain membership in both – AIGA, and UXPA, as a member at large.
