Your survey responses told us that the majority of you would be interested in joining a local UPA (Usability Professionals Association) chapter. As we explore the possibility of becoming a chapter, we thought it would be interesting to hear from someone whos been an integral part of the most successful UPA chapter in the world, Boston UPA . Chauncey Wilson, a founding member and past president of Boston UPA, will be joining us at this meeting. Hell be giving a half hour talk on his experience with Boston UPA, and answering your questions. Afterwards, we invite everyone to take part in an informal group discussion on the future of NH UX. We hope youll take advantage of this great opportunity to meet Chauncey, and to start thinking about what we might do as a local UPA chapter. **Food and refreshments will be provided courtesy of Mad*Pow (www.madpow.net).** About Chauncey Wilson: Chauncey Wilson has spent 20 years as an engineering psychologist, user interface designer, usability engineer, and product development manager.
