Our Core Values

In 2017, more than 100 CXPA members collaborated with the Board of Directors to explicitly examine, test, and codify the CXPA community core values.  These core values were unveiled and shared with the membership in 2018. We will ground our work in our core values to help CXPA stay true to our shared beliefs as our work, organization and profession continues to develop. We will continue to raise the bar, build awareness of the value of CX, and create new and better ways to help one another succeed.

The core values are designed to give our member-to-member association a context for how we will approach our growth and work in the future. Here are the three core values and what those values will mean to how we make decisions.

  • We foster a culture of inclusivity and belonging, welcoming everyone.
  • We encourage, seek out, and embrace diverse perspectives and approaches.
