What Your Membership Helps Make Possible for the Profession

One of CXPA's unique strengths is that membership dues do more than provide direct personal and organizational benefits. They help support initiatives that advance customer experience as a recognized professional discipline.

Awareness and Advocacy

CXPA is the foremost global voice raising awareness of the importance and value of CX. Through the annual October celebration of CX Day and our www.whatiscx.com website, we have introduced millions to the concept of CX. Our work continues to build a deeper understanding of CX as a professional role and valued business discipline

Professional Standards and Certification

As professional fields develop, it is critical to establish independent standards and frameworks. As CX is a young field, this work is particularly important. CXPA has conducted multiple independent job analyses of the field to help provide a trusted CX framework that is independent from undue commercial influence. 

Evidence and Research

Effective advocacy for CX as a professional discipline requires evidence. CXPA is committed to collecting, curating and conducting research that helps advance the customer experience field.
