Ladies that UX (LTUX) is an international organization focused on mentoring women
in the software industry. In order to explore both the mission and the focus of the
international organization and smaller, localized chapters of LTUX, we conducted
a series of surveys and interviews. These surveys focused on how local groups of
LTUX were formed and structured, what leaders see as the goals and needs of their
chapters, and how members interact with both each other and with the broader
international organization. Our research goal was to gain some insight into means of
formation, communication, and structure of these local chapters and to understand and
anticipate what chapter needs are, in order to better grow LTUX as an organization.
