Dear NJABA Members,

Happy New Year! As we look ahead to 2025, I want to take a moment to share an important update regarding our association management services in the spirit of transparency.

NJABA has worked with Advocacy & Management Group (AMG) for many years, and their team has provided invaluable association management services to our organization. This past fall, AMG made the difficult decision to move away from providing such services. In response, we formed a Transition Task Force to guide us through this change.

The task force was charged with identifying a new company to manage our association’s operations. After thorough research and deliberation, they recommended contracting with Success Communications Group (SCG), a proposal that was unanimously approved by both the executive committee and the full board.

While many of you may not follow the behind-the-scenes operations of NJABA, we felt it was important to share this significant update with all of you. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to AMG for their years of support and dedication to NJABA, and we are excited to begin this new chapter with SCG.

In other news, our 20th Anniversary Conference is fast approaching this April! With three renowned speakers—Dr. Matthew Brodhead, Dr. John Borrero, and Dr. Bridget Taylor—this promises to be an unforgettable event.

Looking ahead, I’d also like to plant the seed for our 4th Annual Science of Behavior Analysis Conference, which will take place in the summer of 2025. We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Mirela Cengher will be our invited presenter. Be on the lookout for additional details as we get closer to the event.

A new year presents an incredible opportunity for growth, development, and achievement. Thank you for being an essential part of NJABA. Together, we’ll continue advancing the science and practice of behavior analysis and making a meaningful impact.

Warmly,

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