The BACB has two means of allowing contact with certificants: the certificant registry and the mass email service .
The certificant registry is free resource that consumers, licensing authorities, and employers can use to verify certification status, and it not allowed to be for commercial purposes (including but not limited to sale of products, sending surveys, soliciting employment, and sending information about educational or professional programs). For more information, please visit the Terms of Use page. To use the registry, please click the Verify a Certificant button to the right.
The mass email service is a pay-to-use service that allows 3rd parties related to the behavior analysis industry to deliver commercial-use messages to certificants who have opted into the service. Customers of the service can choose their audience by certification, location, and type of message, but the list will be blind (customers will have an estimated size of their audience based on their segment choices, but they will not have access to the list or the email addresses within it). For more information on the mass email service, please use the button to the left.
The BACB does not distribute certificant email addresses under any circumstances.
For all questions or document submissions related to ethics, please visit the BACB's ethics webpage and use the various forms there, which will ensure you follow the appropriate steps for your situation.
