I started volunteering for UXPA International a long, long time ago. The fact that it’s been over 10 years later and I am still volunteering for UXPA is a testament to our profession, this organization, and our members.
UXPA International has given me a lot through the years – friendships, access to other UX professionals, great events, and even greater memories. I have served many roles during this time, most recently President.
We have seen ups and downs – especially in the past 5 years (thank you Covid), but the one constant has been working with a fantastic board all dedicating our time together because of our love of UX.
It will feel a little different waking up on July 1st knowing that my time on the Board of Directors is officially coming to a close, but I also sleep well knowing Christina Manikus is taking over as President because she is going to rock, alongside Alain Robillard-Bastien, who was an amazing Vice Pres to my Pres, and will continue to do so!
This all being said, my commitment to UX and this organization still holds strong. I look forward to chairing UXPA 2026 in Las Vegas next June, and like all of you, being part of the next great chapter of UXPA International.
Thank you to all for your support and contributions through the years.
