Dear NJABA Members,

Summer is here, and so is our next big event! Join us for the 4th Annual NJABA Science of Behavior Analysis Conference on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm at Rowan University.

This year’s conference will feature Dr. Mirela Cengher, who will present an engaging and practical talk on “Why and How to Teach Multiple Languages to Children.” Attendees will also enjoy a continental breakfast, connect with college program representatives, and network with colleagues from across the state.

On a personal note, this will be my final update as NJABA President. It’s been a fun and rewarding year in this role, and I’m genuinely thankful for the opportunity to serve our community. I’m especially grateful to the NJABA Board for their ongoing support and collaboration throughout the past year.

I’m pleased to share that I’ll be handing the baton to Frances A. Perrin, who will take over as President beginning in July. I know NJABA is in excellent hands moving forward.

Warmly,

Jason C. Vladescu, Ph.D., BCBA-D
President, NJABA
