California ABA – 2025 Annual Report
By Liz Herrera Knapp
The California Association for Behavior Analysis (CalABA) continues its commitment to
actively serving our membership, stakeholders, community, and consumers of Applied Behavior
Analysis. CalABA continues to remain the largest state association representing over 28,788
certified professionals (BCBA-D, BCBA, BCaBA, and RBT).
CalABA held its 43rd Annual Conference February 27th – March 1st in Pasadena, Ca with over
2,000 attendees in person and over 250 attending virtually.
The CalABA Board of Directors convened in-person for their Annual Board of Directors retreat
September 5th – 6th At the retreat the Board engaged in a strategic planning overview, toured the
Convention Center 44th Annual, discussed membership benefits, and reviewed public policy
updates and planning, as well as engaged in meaningful collaboration to address Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion in our organization. This came on the heels of our extensive training and
work with Twice Consulting.
CalABA has a continued commitment to serving the interests and needs of our membership, and
this year continued to support the four CalABA Special Interest Groups: Adult Service Provider
SIG (ASPSIG), Behavior Analysts in Education (BAESIG), Bay Area Behavior Analysis
Collective (BABAC), and Behavior Analysts in Business (BIBA).
CalABA continues to be actively involved in public policy matters that are related to the practice
of applied behavior analysis in California, continuing our work with Gina Green and Michelle
Heid as Public Policy Consultants. Our Public Policy Consultants and Public Policy Committee
are working to address challenges in our field and to move behavior analysis forward, as well as
working to codify BCBAs in statute, where appropriate.
