The ALA Washington Office was founded in 1945. At some point after 2015 the name was changed to Public Policy and Advocacy | About ALA
The pdf at the PPA page on the ALA Website provides a history of the Washington Office from 1945-1995. But there is nothing to indicate when the name changed from Washington Office to PPA Office occurred.
I cannot find a citation to the date when the formal name change took place from Washington Office to PPA. It may be in Executive Documents or minutes, but I cannot find news about this change in American Libraries.
I would appreciate knowing where I might find documentation of the name change.
-Thank you.
