Sponsors

Organizations that do not qualify as affiliate associations are welcome as sponsors of the APBA in one of two categories. Advocacy Organizations must be non-profit entities that do not hold a current affiliation with the APBA and that have the primary purpose of advocating for consumers. Other Associations or Organizations may be for-profit or not-for-profit organizations that offer products and services related to behavior analysis. These other associations or organizations may choose from among five levels of sponsorship:

Level Five - $5000 per year
Level Four - $3000 per year
Level Three - $1500 per year
Level Two - $500 per year
Level One - $250 per year

The following organizations are Sponsor Organizations of APBA. They are listed because of their financial contributions to APBA. Organizational Sponsorship is not a partnership or an affiliation with the APBA and does not involve evaluation, accreditation, endorsement or certification of the Sponsor Organization by the APBA. Sponsor Organizations may only refer to themselves as "APBA Sponsor Organizations " or “APBA Organizational Sponsors.” Any references stating or implying partnership, affiliation, evaluation, accreditation, endorsement or certification are prohibited. Misrepresentation of this relationship with APBA may be grounds for termination of Organizational Sponsorship, without refund of contribution. It is expected that all sponsoring organizations will act in accordance with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, Inc. (BACB) Guidelines for Responsible Conduct for Behavior Analysts.
