Dear NJABA Members,

As we move into February planning is well underway for both of NJABA’s conferences this year, including the Science of Behavior Analysis Conference in April and our Annual Conference in June. These events reflect NJABA’s ongoing commitment to advancing the science and practice of behavior analysis through high-quality professional development, collaboration with academic partners, and opportunities to connect across practice settings.

February is also a time when we encourage members to stay engaged beyond conferences, whether through participation in NJABA workgroups, advocacy initiatives, or mentorship and student-focused activities. The work of our volunteer leaders continues to strengthen our organization and ensure that NJABA remains responsive to the needs of behavior analysts across New Jersey.

We are also pleased to share that NJABA is now accepting nominations for the Distinguished Service Award. This annual award honors a New Jersey behavior analyst with 15 or more years of meaningful contributions to the profession, including work in university instruction, clinical services, practitioner training, research, and advocacy. We encourage members to consider nominating a colleague whose dedication and impact exemplify excellence in our field. Submit a nomination letter and a CV to info@njaba.org to be considered. Submissions will be considered through March 15, 2026.

Thank you for your continued membership, involvement, and support. Together we are building a strong community of behavior analysts!

Warmly,

Frances Perrin, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA
President, NJABA
