Founded in 2011, the Customer Experience Professionals Association is the premier global non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and cultivation of the Customer Experience profession.

The CXPA supports the professional development of its members and advances the field by providing shared best practices and education, developing standards, offering networking opportunities, promoting the industry, and creating a better understanding of the discipline of Customer Experience.

Over the past several years, the field of customer experience management has matured, we are seeing more and more companies recognize its importance as a key ingredient in building and maintaining customer loyalty. A growing number of professionals have responsibility for assessing and improving customer experience in channels (e.g., web, call center, brick-and-mortar store, mobile commerce, etc.), with products, and across entire organizations. Best practices for processes, tools, and techniques are emerging across many customer experience management disciplines. In short, customer experience management has become an established profession.

 As a non-profit, the CXPA wants to help customer experience professionals make customer experience management an integral part of how their companies operate, and to enable them to embed its skill set across their organizations. Our goal is to break down the work, create standards and best practice approaches, and transfer those skills across the CXPA network.
