Chapter Board History

The Minnesota Chapter of the Usability Professionals' Association was originally formed in October of 1999. Each year, our chapter elects a new board that is responsible for leading the organization and managing its operations. We want to recognize past contributions by chapter members who have served on our board. These individuals helped create our chapter and have helped it grow and mature.
