Full Membership ($50)
Any individual holding a terminal degree in a discipline directly related to or involving behavior analysis and whose full-time professional commitment includes teaching, research, and/or practice in behavior analysis may apply for membership in this category. Full members in good standing shall be entitled to one vote on all matters brought before the chapter with the exception of voting for the Student Representative to the Executive Committee.
Student Membership ($25)
Any student in a program of study leading to a degree in behavior analysis or a related discipline, and/or enrolled in a verified course sequence to meet course requirements for BACB certification. Such application must be accompanied by documentation certifying the applicant’s student status. Student members in good standing shall be entitled to one vote for the Student Representative on the Executive Committee.
Affiliate Membership ($40)
Affiliate membership status may be obtained by any individual who is interested in the field of behavior analysis but does not hold the required credentials for full membership. Affiliate members are non-voting and cannot hold office but are valued members of KYABA with access to all other benefits of membership.
