The D/FW Metro Area chapter of the UPA was formed to
provide local usability professionals and others
concerned with the usability of their company's
products with locally-based educational, networking,
and professional resources.

The Usability Professionals' Association
(www.upassoc.org) is a multi-disciplinary organization
devoted to promoting usability concepts and techniques
worldwide. It provides members with opportunities to
network with other usability professionals on the web
and at the annual conference. It provides businesses
with practical information that can be used to develop
more usable products, and access to usability
professionals who can help businesses achieve their
goals and improve customer satisfaction. UPA also
serves as a learning resource for employees, including
an annual conference, a quarterly newsletter, and a
large membership with usability expertise.
