CalABA SIGs serve to support our members who share a common interest or specialty in a specific area of behavior analysis or related policy.
GroupsSpecial Interest Groups (SIGs) are created and maintained by CalABA members with a common interest or specialty in a specific area of behavior analysis or related policy. The purpose of each SIG is to network and exchange information through meetings, publications, or other organized activities.
Any group of 10 or more active CalABA members can form a SIG if, (a) the SIGs mission and activities are consistent with CalABA’s mission to advance, promote, and protect the science and practice of behavior analysis and, (b) the subject area of the SIG is not within the scope of any existing SIG.
An application, containing the following, should be submitted in writing to CalABA’s Executive Director for review and vote by the Board of Directors.
It is recommended that all new SIGs establish and adhere to bylaws that establish procedures for elections, meetings, membership and other essential SIG operations.
SIG membership is open to all CalABA members. Non-members of CalABA are, under no circumstances, permitted to be members of SIGs. Any CalABA member whose membership is terminated (e.g., membership not renewed) will be removed from SIG membership. A member of the CalABA Board of Directors may be assigned as a liaison between the Board and the SIG.
SIGs enjoy a great deal of latitude in planning their activities and determining the types of activities they will conduct if they are compatible with CalABA’s mission and vision, but all CalABA SIGs are expected to do the following:
Meet at least annually to conduct SIG business. CalABA provides space for this meeting at the western Regional Conferencegiven 90 days advance notice in writing and will include notice of the SIGs business meeting in the convention program. At this meeting, the chair of each SIG should present the annual activities report for the year just ended, present plans for the upcoming year, and conduct any other SIG business that might be necessary.
