Conference Highlights

BALC 2022 Conference | Miami, Floria

March 3rd – 5th

As someone involved in the operation of a business, as a manager, supervisor, administrator, or owner, how essential is it to understand issues related to the operation of your business from a behavioral outlook?  As someone practicing behavior analysis in our schools, in our communities, and in clinics across the country, how important is it to keep current with the state of our clinical practices and procedural technologies?  As someone teaching behavior analysis to undergraduate and graduate students, how often have you wished for a forum in which you could talk about your ideas, the challenges you have encountered, and issues you face with others?  As someone living in a very stressful world full of conflicts, controversies, pressures, and pandemics, how necessary is it to take steps to focus on the positive, to keep your body strong and healthy, to bolster your ability to manage and reduce the stress of our work and our lives?  This Behavior Analysis leadership conference will focus on those issues and more! 

  • Effective Leadership *Clinical Acumen *Operational Expertise
