| Update: Strategic Plan Group |

| Chair: Susan M. Schneider (University of the Pacific) |
| Presenting Authors: |
| Despite years of dissemination effort on our part, a National Medal of Science for Skinner, and impressive generality, replication, and application, operant and Pavlovian principles still frequently get ignored in mainstream psychology, minimized or misrepresented in texts, and only spottily incorporated into relevant related disciplines. In 2018, a group of behavior analysts created a list of action items toward a strategic plan for the integration/reintegration of these principles into mainstream psychology and underrepresented interdisciplinary areas - taking advantage of high-profile supporters in those areas, among other methods. Indeed, we helped bring Alan Kazdin to ABAI last year. This meeting will provide an update on progress, and further discussion on how to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and dissemination. Andy Lattal and Ray Pitts will co-chair. |

| Behavior Analysis for Military and Veterans Special Interest Group |
| Sunday, May 30, 2021 |
| 7:00 PM–7:50 PM EDT |
| Online |
| Chair: Abigail Calkin (Calkin Consulting Center) |
| Presenting Authors: |
| Behavior Analysis in Military and Veteran Affairs is a special interest group designed to promulgate the concepts and practices of behavior analysis and behavior change methodologies. This group works with people from any country with needs in supporting military personnel and families. The group consists of military personnel, former military personnel, people related to present and former military members, the Veterans Affairs office or hospitals, children in military families with special needs, and others interested in viewing the military through the lens of behavior analysis. The three categories critical to this special interest group are post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide, and traumatic brain injury. Governments are concerned about the number of veterans suffering from brain or spinal injuries, post-traumatic stress, suicidal issues, lack of access to social services, and addiction problems related to their active duty service. The group approaches these issues from the perspective of public events, inner events, and verbal behaviors while looking at each of these areas where behavior analysis has effective treatments. This group facilitates research, and promotes awareness of issues including the practice of applied behavior analysis with this population. |

| The Behavioral Medicine Special Interest Group (SIG) focuses on the application of behavior analytic methodology to the prevention and treatment of behaviors associated with chronic illness and disease, and the promotion of behaviors associated with improved health and treatment adherence. The role of behavior analysis is important in the field of behavioral medicine. It is the mission of the SIG to encourage interdisciplinary research in the areas of behavioral health promotion, emphasizing the need for function-based and empirically validated treatments for chronic health disorders. The Behavioral Medicine SIG offers students, researchers, practitioners, and consumers opportunities to discuss issues related to public health promotion and disease prevention. All are welcome to join the Behavioral Medicine SIG. We hope that the SIG will help consumers and practitioners better understand the role of behavior analysis in the field of behavioral medicine, and provide an outlet for discussions of current and developing research within the field. The annual business meeting is open to all conference attendees interested in behavioral health and medicine. The meeting will be conducted to discuss various administrative matters relevant to the Behavioral Medicine SIG. In addition, during the business meeting, the Behavioral Medicine Student Research Award winner will be announced and receive their award. |
