Nominations for the FABA Board

We had an overwhelming response this year, and the nominations for the 2020 FABA Board are now closed.  Please stay tuned for Election information that will be published as soon as the nominated members confirm that they would like to run for office.

The FABA Team has been working to adjust to the ever changing situation that is unfolding in our state. Although we had hoped to host a smaller version of our annual face-to-face conference, FABA 2020 will instead be a virtual event. The FABA Board feels this is best for the safety of our members, presenters, and student researchers that attend our annual event.  

 

ONLINE Conference Registration

 

This year we will feature Dr. Patrick Friman, Matthew Normand, Sung Woo Kahng, Shahla Alai, Karen Toussaint, Jennifer Austin, Brian Greer and Jeanne Donaldson as Invited Speakers.  Tyra Sellers & Ellie Kazemiwill speak on Supervision and Jon Bailey & Noor Syed will speak on Ethics. In addition, to this great lineup, we will have panel discussions, two social events and a special event at the end on '50 years of Behavior Analysis'.

 

The ONLINE event will be held Thursday, September 17th and Friday, September 18th from 8am-5pm each day.  BA-CEUs are included in the Professional Member registration fee (ending your attendance verification).

Recently, there have been many demonstrations occurring across the U.S. to bring attention to the tragic killings of Black lives. We are deeply saddened and angry by these events and our board believes that we must not stay silent during times of injustice. Therefore, we want to be clear that FABA condemns acts of racism, hate, injustice, and brutality faced by the Black community. Today, we stand with our Black members, clients, and community in the fight against systemic racism and racial violence. We hear you and value your voice and lives.

In these difficult times, our board believes that we must not stay silent. We are deeply saddened and angered by recent and ongoing events targeting the black community. Therefore, we want to be clear that FABA condemns acts of racism, hate, injustice, and brutality. Today, we stand with our black members, clients, and community in the fight against systemic racism and racial violence.

We think it is important to acknowledge that behavior analysis has not given these issues enough attention and that we have a lot of work to do. Behavior analysts can contribute to the conversation and efforts to create a more equitable and just world.

For now, we would like to share this recent publication: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40617-020-00411-4
