UXRS started as a small Meetup group in Texas which grew into a large online community during the COVID 19 pandemic.  Since moving online, we have produced a regular cadence of learning and networking events - mostly free of charge - for the UX Research community.  Behind the scenes, it requires a lot of work to develop, plan, and run our events.  None of this could be done by one person or even three people in a sustainable way.  Our staff has grown along with UXRS to help provide new energy and capacity to meet these needs.  Last year, Emily Dahl joined UXRS as a content strategist and has been an awesome contributor and collaborator - both backstage as a strategist and frontstage as a presenter.  

We are very excited to share that Emily has stepped into a leadership position as the new Community Engagement Director.   We are looking forward to working with her in 2023 and 2024 as UXRS continues to evolve.  
​
Here’s a little more about Emily Dahl, the incoming Community Engagement Director:

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I have spent much of my career focused on UX Strategy at the intersection of business operations, employee experiences, and the impact they have on customer experience. I am currently a Service Designer focused on end-to-end customer experiences at The Home Depot. Outside of work you can find me hiking on MN trails with my husband and son or baking an overly complex dessert.
 
2. What attracted you to get involved with UXRS?
Transitioning into UX from other professions can be a bumpy journey or at best a winding road. As an operations professional turned Employee Experience & Digital Strategy consultant, I was looking for a place to learn and network with others who had found their way into UX strategy positions. After my first event, I knew UXRS was the community I would want to stay with. When a chance came up to join the UXRS team, I jumped at the opportunity as I wanted to be able to give back to the community that helped me feel more connected and confident in the field. 
 
3. What was your favorite thing about UXRS and why?
UXRS’s ability to create bite-sized learning such as the Method Mondays is one of my favorite things, as it is something I can easily share with non-UX team members to help them understand the value I and other UX researchers/strategists can bring. 

4. What would you like to see in UXRS's future?
UXRS has grown tremendously over the last few years and has been a place for many researchers to meet others in our field. As we look to the future, my hope is that we can continue to not only be a place to meet others, but also a place to build deep connections through conversations, feedback, and shared learning.

Congratulations Emily!
