We were saddened to learn that Ed Anderson, long time friend, supporter, trustee, and director of the Center passed away on February 9. Ed will be missed in many ways, but his legacy to the Center and our community lives on in our annual award to excellence in behavioral education, The Edward L. Anderson Award. We will publish more on Ed and his remarkable support for behavior analysis in the near future. Our thoughts are with him and his family.
