Dear NJABA Members,

We hope your summer has been restful and inspiring. As we transition into August, we’re eager to move forward with new initiatives to increase member support.

Our Annual Science of Behavior Analysis Conference, held July 26 at Rowan University, was a huge success! A special thank-you to all programs that brought strong participation. We added a bit of fun this year with a friendly competition: free NJABA 2026 registrations were offered to the university program sending the most participants. Caldwell University took the win with 6 attendees. Congratulations, Caldwell, and thank you to all who contributed to a collaborative and enriching day of science and discussion!

For our students and those diving back into academic pursuits, remember that NJABA offers invaluable support, including FREE student and behavior technician membership that provides access to extensive resources, networking opportunities, and professional development tools. Make sure to take advantage of these benefits as you prepare for the year ahead.

For our graduate scholars embarking on thesis or dissertation work this fall, NJABA offers assistance in research participant recruitment. Visit our Research Participant Recruitment page to learn more. 

Due to planned renovations next spring at the Palace Conference Center, we will be announcing a change for our 2026 Annual Conference. Stay tuned for details as we finalize plans.  

Thank you for being an invaluable part of NJABA’s mission. Whether you’re providing daily clinical support to clients, conducting research, joining a workgroup, or simply staying engaged, your support matters.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Warmly,

Frances Perrin, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA
