Hello,
I was wondering - is there any real reason to stop
using the N and switch to a new prefix at all? It may
have originated as a logical and immediate reference
to the name of the board, but it is in essence a code
like any other, and if the entity is still the same
creature and just changing names why not keep the same
prefix/code? That way it is clear internally that the
same organization was responsible for the acquisition,
and #s are really for those of us on the inside. :)
As for the credit line, I agree with a previous post
-I like ...Sheldon Art Association (formerly the
Nebraska Art Association)... though that is slightly
cumbersome.
Best,
Nikol
