Michele Williams, BCBA-D, recently served on an expert panel for accreditation site visitors at the annual convention of the Association for Behavior Analysis International in Washington, D.C. She was also recognized at the same conference as one of the female leaders in the discipline.

As inaugural ABACS program director, she helped the program gain accreditation in 2019, only four years after founding the program. The Rollins ABACS program was created in part by Maria Ruiz, whose legacy has had far-reaching impacts on the field. Ruiz is most recognized as one of the advocates for female leaders in a male-dominated discipline. Amongst all her accomplishments, she counted the ABACS program as her most important contribution and mentored countless female undergraduate students as they embarked on their careers in behavior analysis.

With over 9,000 members, the Association for Behavior Analysis International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting behavior analysis, organizing conferences and publishing journals on the topic of applied behavior analysis.
