"Behavior analysis has the potential to change the world. But changing the world takes resources, and I have been so impressed over the decades with the creativity, vision, and passion of both those who have benefited from SABA and those who have supported it. SABA has made scores of student research projects possible, and has allowed our field to make inroads all across the globe. This is an organization that takes its mission seriously, and that operates with the utmost efficiency, and so I am truly proud to contribute to its work."
