Continuing Education Information

Continuing Education earned through FABA

FABA is a BACB approved continuing education (ACE) provider, OP-02-0014. All CEs earned by attendees at a FABA event are Type 2 CEs. Many of the events meet the Professional and Ethical (PEL) requirement set by the BACB, and are noted as such in programs and attendance records.

Verifying CEUs earned with FABA

Beginning in 2017, FABA partnered with CEUHelper.com to maintain records of your CEUs earned. CEUHelper.com not only retains FABA CEUs, but also those CEUs you may have earned at other ABA events, thus making it convenient to track your total CEU picture. We hope this simplifies your recertification process. To look up your information, simply log in to CEUHelper.com here. By selecting a transaction, you will be able to print out a duplicate certificate that includes what sessions were attended, who the presenter was, the number of credits earned and FABA’s ACE provider number.

For information on CEUs earned prior to 2017, please send a note to [email protected] along with the year you need to verify. A replacement letter will be emailed to you. Please allow three business days for processing.

This position requires a three-year commitment to FABA.

As President-Elect the individual serves on the Executive Board and chairs Board meetings in the absence of the President. The President-Elect is expected to “shadow” the President and learn those duties as well as serving on several of the FABA Committees that are central to the operation of the organization.

During the Presidential year, the person presides over the Board meetings, is expected to play an active role in the development of the Annual Conference and with issues of importance to the Association that may arise during that year. This includes communicating with state agencies and other associations regarding our positions on various issues and speaking on behalf of FABA in front of legislative committees when the Florida Legislature is in session.

The immediate Past President serves of the Executive Board, is responsible for that year’s election process, and hosts the Past Presidents’ Breakfast on the Friday morning of the Conference. As an experienced member of the Board, the Past-President is expected to continue to show leadership in decision-making and to actively participate on critical committees.

Member-at-Large

At-large members are elected to three-year terms to the Executive Board and are expected to be active participants on behalf of the Association during this time. Those elected may serve in any of a number of capacities depending on availability and preference.
