Let’s start with involvement, I was voted in as the Development and Experience Chair for the following organizations – NEOUPA and AIGA – The Professional Association for Design. Key positioning for developing skills trees, direction and empower hobbyist and professional members.

During my dual seat terms, I did the following: Set goals and established the direction for learning.

  1. Gained agreement on research and application practices.
  2. Held usability sessions focused on enhancing the user experience for traditional designers, web developers and software engineers.
  3. Executing on goals set forth by the board.
  4. Set guidelines for the two associations by emphasizing the exploration and mastery.
  5. Integrating three key disciplines: user experience, design, and development.
  6. Remove overlapping skills, creating focus and distinct skillsets by discipline.Implemented skill maps so students, amateurs, hobbyists and professionals can see how to grow the profession.
  7. Worked to enhance skills and promoted interdisciplinary collaboration amongst professions in the field.

The objectives were to bring individuals together, foster collaboration, and enable professionals to deliver exceptional user experiences.

Finally, and the main topic of this message, highlighting the importance of 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 as well as the Manatee Chamber Of Commerce, AIGA, and UXPA, as a member at large.
