Michael Davison from Auckland, New Zealand is the first person to serve that role on the Executive Council. He is honored to serve both ABA in general and the international behavior analysis community in particular. It will be available to all members who live outside of the United States. The objective of the list-serve is to provide a forum for communication to better meet the needs of international members. Dr. Michael Davison, the current International Representative to the ABA Executive Council, has offered to manage this list-serve.
Participation is voluntary.
Discussion about how to accomplish this task has been a regular part of the Council meetings. Several international members have organized small behavior analysis conventions. Some of the inititiatives took place in Cuba, China, Japan, and Thailand. Some of ABA's international chapters also sponsor conventions on behavior analysis. Now that ABA is financially more secure, it is planning its first international conference in addition to the regular annual convention.
