President’s Welcome

December 2025

Dear NJABA Members,

In 2025, NJABA continued to advance its mission through impactful advocacy, meaningful collaboration, and high-quality professional development. This year’s 20th Annual Conference brought together leading voices in the field, highlighted by distinguished keynote presentations, a pre-conference workshop, and the recognition of Dr. Sharon A. Reeve as the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award. NJABA also sustained its advocacy efforts by supporting licensure implementation and reinforcing high professional standards across the state. Throughout the year, NJABA’s workgroups—including Early Intervention, Adult Services, Diversity & Inclusion, ABA Services in Spanish, Public School Behavior Analysts, Insurance & Medicaid, and the Student Workgroup—provided valuable resources, community engagement, and ongoing support for practitioners across diverse settings.
