The Strategic Air & Space Museum (sasmuseum.com) has announced a decision by its Board of Directors to change its name to “Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum”.
As part of its strategic planning process, the Museum’s executive team met with numerous community leaders and groups. Feedback from these meetings led to a study for renaming the museum which was approved by the Board of Directors in December 2014. In March, feedback from museum visitors, community leaders and groups about renaming the Museum was overwhelmingly in favor (92%) of a name change that put “Strategic Air Command” or “SAC” back in the name. At the March Board of Directors meeting, these results were presented and the Board moved to proceed with an analysis of selecting a new name for the museum. On June 24, 2015 the Museum’s executive team presented results from public voting, and a budget for the name change, to the Board of Directors. The Board voted unanimously to change the name. Throughout the entire process, the museum received thousands of votes and comments.
The Museum’s status as a non-profit entity will not change. Once legal work is completed to officially change its name, the Museum will begin replacing signage and develop a new website. The Museum is currently planning to unveil the Museum’s new logo sometime in Spring 2016.
