President’s Welcome

May 2025

Dear NJABA Members,

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our 20th Annual Conference at the end of April. It was a fantastic event, and I’m grateful to all who attended, presented, volunteered, and supported this milestone gathering. 

A special thank you to our invited speakers—Dr. John Borrero, Dr. Matthew Brodhead, and Dr. Bridget Taylor—for their thoughtful and impactful presentations. And a heartfelt thank you to the Events Committee, co-chaired by Marlene Brown and Quintara Tucker, who played a massive role in making the conference a success. 

Of course, the momentum doesn’t stop here. We’re already looking ahead to our next major event: the 4th Annual NJABA Science of Behavior Analysis Conference, happening on Saturday, July 26, 2025, from 7:30am to 1:30pm EDT

This year’s event will be hosted by Rowan University and will feature Dr. Mirela Cengher, who will present an engaging talk on “Why and How to Teach Multiple Languages to Children.” Attendees will enjoy a continental breakfast, opportunities to connect with college program representatives, and time to network with professionals across the state

We hope to see many of you there.

Warmly,

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