COLLEGE STATION -- The George H.W. Bush Presidential Library Foundation will now be known as the George and Barbara Bush Foundation, it announced Tuesday.

The foundation’s board of directors approved the name change to reflect its “intention to support all areas of George and Barbara Bush’s public service legacy.” In College Station, this includes the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University.

“This change to the Foundation’s name reflects the lifelong partnership and commitment to public service of George and Barbara Bush, and carries out their intention that the Foundation help foster the causes and values that were so important in their lives,” said Alexander “Hap” Ellis, chairman of the renamed George and Barbara Bush Foundation Board, in the announcement. “This means continued support for the Bush School of Government and Public Service and the George Bush Presidential Library, as well as closer alignment with the other key organizations that were nearest and dearest to President and Mrs. Bush’s hearts.”

Three of the Bushes’ children — Neil Bush, Marvin Bush and Doro Bush Koch — will be added to the board, the foundation also announced, along with President Bush’s post-White House chief of staff, Jean Becker. The Bush Presidential Center in College Station will remain the foundation’s headquarters. A satellite office will be opened in Houston.
