March 2026
Dear NJABA Members,
As we move into the spring season, the New Jersey Association for Behavior Analysis is pleased to share several upcoming opportunities for members to connect, recognize professional contributions, and continue advancing the science and practice of behavior analysis across New Jersey.
NJABA is currently accepting nominations for the Distinguished Service Award, which recognizes a New Jersey behavior analyst who has made meaningful contributions to the field over the course of 15 or more years. This annual award honors individuals whose work has significantly advanced behavior analysis through university instruction, clinical service, practitioner training, research, and advocacy. We encourage members to consider nominating a colleague whose dedication and impact exemplify excellence in our profession. Nominations must be submitted by March 15, 2026.
Join us for the upcoming Science of Behavior Analysis Conference on April 17, 2026. This event will highlight research and practical applications that continue to strengthen our field. The conference provides an opportunity for professionals, students, and researchers to engage with current behavioral science and connect with colleagues from across the state.
Preparation continues for NJABA’s Annual Conference, taking place June 25–26, 2026. In addition to a full schedule of presentations and professional learning opportunities, a workshop focused on Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) professional development will be offered on June 26.
Organizations interested in supporting the conference are invited to participate through sponsorship opportunities. The Annual Conference Sponsorship Store will close on May 25, 2026, so sponsors are encouraged to secure their participation before the deadline.
Registration for both conferences is now open. We look forward to seeing many of you at these upcoming events and appreciate your continued commitment to advancing behavior analysis in New Jersey.
Warmly,
Frances Perrin, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA
