[NLA] Change of Name?

[Gullion, Christy]

Daphne-

The Institute was established by Congress through the National Literacy Act
of 1991.  Only Congress has the authority to change the name of the
Institute.

I know that there are individuals who are waiting to be confirmed as new
NIFL Board members. However, until that happens, is there a current active
NIFL Board? If yes, would it be possible, assuming that others would agree
with this, for the current Board to consider changing the name from National
Institute of Literacy to National Institute of Adult Literacy? What is
involved in changing the name? Is it even possible? If it is possible, I
think that it would be a good idea-perhaps it would help keep the adult
focus in NIFL.
