- Transparency: "default to open." Knowledge about our policies and procedures should be shared by default, unless there is a good reason not to.
- Prefer experimentation over long-term planning. Prototype when possible!
- Lead, don't manage. Encourage the development of leadership skills among all volunteers.
- Celebrate progress and strengths. As UX professionals, we tend to be quite critical. If we take the time to reflect on the big picture, though, we'll see that we have come quite far.
- Advocacy for UX. We must advocate not only for our members as individuals, but for the UX profession as a whole.
- Employ emotional intelligence. Embrace vulnerability, authenticity, and nonviolent communication.
- Champion a balanced perspective on diversity, inclusion, and cultural competence. Strive to uncover unconscious biases that drive decisions. Maintain a commitment to dismantle the structures that uphold inequality in this organization, at work, and in life.
- Hold membership information sacrosanct. Protect members' privacy.
