Dear NJABA Members,

As autumn settles in, NJABA is looking ahead with excitement and purpose. We remain committed to fostering collaboration, advancing the science and practice of behavior analysis, and supporting professionals across New Jersey.

We’re thrilled to announce that Pat Friman, Ph.D., ABPP and Mary Jane Weiss, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LABA will be the keynote speakers for the 21st Annual NJABA Conference, taking place June 25–26, 2026. Due to scheduled renovations at The Palace in the spring, the event has been shifted to early summer. The full-day conference will be held on Thursday, June 25, followed by half-day workshops on Friday, June 26. Continue to stay tuned for more details and the official call for papers in the coming months.

In the meantime, we encourage you to check out the NJABA workgroup schedule. This is a great opportunity to join professionals from around the state who are collaborating, sharing resources, and discussing topics relevant to our field.
