Today I became a local ambassador for the Los Angeles area for UXnet (User Experience Network).

What is UXnet?
UXnet is a non-profit organization that focuses on connecting people, organizations, resources, and ideas to enable the growth and maturation of User Experience as a practice, a community, and eventually a discipline

What is a Local Ambassador?
A Local Ambassador is a UXnet volunteer who makes connections between people, resources and organizations related to user experience (UX) within a specific geographic locale, in this case, Los Angeles (although I’m going to try and focus on Orange County as well).

Luckily for me, the User Experience/Interaction Design community in Los Angeles is already booming and there are events happening all the time so it should make my job a little bit easier. I’m hoping I’ll be able to help grow and mature not only the User Experience discipline, but also strengthen the Southern California community.
