Vote for Nick?

Vote for Nick?
Aug 20th, 2009

Ok, so apparently I am involved in two different campaigns of late.  One I was egarly anticipating, the other came unannounced and unexpected, but both great news.

First, a campaign for the panel Raina Van Cleave and I will present at SXSW Interactive if accepted.  Its called The Ten Commandments of User Experience which is a hybrid between the talk I did at Webmaster Jam Session in 2008 entitled The Seven Commandments Of User Experience and Raina’s follow-up article to the talk where she expands on the idea to include an additional 3 commandments with a more fitting title of Ten Commandments of User Experience.  You can read about the talk and vote on it if you like it here.

Second, a campaign for a Board of Directors seat within the Information Architecture Institute.  This was actually a bit of a shock to me that I was initially nominated by Liv Labate, someone who I have great respect for.  And then also nominated later by Michael Angeles who has helped me out in so many ways I can’t count.  You can see a full list of the nominees here.  I think it would great to be on the board and help steer IAI in a direction more in sync with the current shifts the user experience industry is seeing.  If you are a IAI member, I am hoping you will vote for me should I become one of the final candidates.  Updates on that when I hear news.
