Create inclusive spaces that cultivate a sense of belonging for all members
Honor both the collective and individual identities of our members and recognize how those identities shape experiences
Identify and dismantle barriers to executing these goals

How do I cancel my membership?

You may cancel your membership by emailing us at [email protected]. Please note that you may cancel your membership at any time, but the dues paid for membership are nonrefundable.

I am a behavior analyst in the state of Florida, doesn't that automatically make me a member?

No; while FABA works to support the field as a whole across the state, you must register an account and pay annual membership dues to be listed as a member of the organization.

I paid once and still receive occasional updates, why is it saying I am not a member?

You must register an account and pay annual membership dues to be listed as a member of the organization. It is likely that you still receive updates because you registered your email and checked the boxes to receive email communications at some point in the past. Membership is good for the calendar year in which it is purchased. If membership is purchased on January 1, it is active through December 31. If membership is purchased on June 1, it is still only active through December 31.

After the conference, we will process and "release" all CEUs. When that happens, if you are seeking MH/PSY CEUs, you will be able to log into BehaviorLive, go to CEU History and view that certificate. Once you pay the fee for those CEUs (in CEU History), you will be able to download your certificates. We will send follow-up instructions when this is ready.

Can I register now and pay later?

Yes, some organizations require an invoice to be submitted before payment can be made. If your organization requires this step, please click here and complete the online request form or contact us at [email protected] to set up your registration.
