A community where everyone feels safe and respected.

UX Speakeasy champions UX in SoCal to shape a better future.

Our mission is broad and inclusive, and our membership is passionate and diverse. While these attributes make the UX Speakeasy a strong and vibrant organization, they also bring the possibility of disagreement and cultural disconnect.

As a volunteer-led organization we rely on the active participation of our community, which can only happen if all of our members feel safe and respected.

To achieve this goal, UX Speakeasy respectfully asks the following of our membership, both for online and in-person interactions under our brand:

• To be considerate and respectful of other cultures, backgrounds and perspectives
• To maintain a professional manner and refrain from harassment or exclusionary behavior toward other members
• To endeavor to resolve misunderstandings directly, through open dialogue and respectful feedback
• To notify the organizers or moderators if you feel you have experienced harassment or have witnessed the harassment of others.

If a disagreement, harassment or uncomfortable situation persists, UX Speakeasy is committed to providing support and resolution. In a physical setting such as a conference or local event, contact the organizers immediately. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Additionally, our online forums have moderators who can take action on members creating a hostile environment for others. Consequences can include removal from the forum and suspension of the member's UX Speakeasy account.

We welcome you to contact UX Speakeasy leadership at any time to report an issue or to give feedback on our efforts to create a welcoming and respectful environment for all.
