The Illinois Association for Behavior Analysis (ILABA) is an associate chapter of Applied Behavior Analysis International (ABAI). The chapter was established in order to provide a forum for behavior analysts in the state of Illinois to stay up to date on legislative issues as they apply to our field as well as to offer continuing education and advocacy for ABA practitioners throughout our state. ILABA is a Behavior Analysis Certification Board (BACB) Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) provider. The organization offers a membership and agency directory, annual conference, job board, representation on practitioner and academic committees, and additional resources to all members. All are welcome to attend the business meeting at ABAI to learn more about the organization and receive updates on the chapter's recent activities and goals.

The purpose of this meeting is to bring together people who are interested in behavioral variability, in particular variability-reinforcing schedules such as lag schedules. While there is an increasing number of publications in this area in recent years, it is a relatively new topic for researchers and practitioners alike. The aims of the meeting are to identify research priorities, bringing those who are new to the topic in contact with those who are more experienced, and to discuss how best to communicate research findings to practitioners in a way that is accessible and practical. Anybody who has an interest in this topic is welcome.

All individuals attending the ABAI convention who have an interest in sex research, sex education, and/or procedures used to change sex-related behaviors are invited to attend the Sexual Behavior: Research and Practice Special Interest Group's annual meeting. Items of business will include a discussion of current SIG activities occurring both at and outside the ABAI convention, the sharing of relevant research findings, and plans for the next year of SIG activities.

This business meeting will focus on identifying current needs for the local ABA community and consumers, and development of strategies to meet those needs.

If you are interested in the dissemination of the science of behavior analysis worldwide, this is the place for you. We're looking to release behavior analysis from its pigeon-holes, and really publicize the potential our science has to develop global solutions in all realms of life. Behavior Analysts have demonstrated our efficacy in very specific populations, and we're really good at proving that our interventions work...to ourselves. We are not as good at getting the word out to those who aren't aware of the science of behavior! Our Mission Statement To disseminate the science of human behavior to the public at large, through the use of easy to understand explanations. Our goal is to promote behavior analysis in a positive and accurate light, to help society realize the potential of our science

To discuss future directions for this SIG, how to increase relevance to ABAI members and how to gor membership.
