Name
The name of this organization is the Tulsa Interagency Council.

Amendment I - Approved September 5, 2007: The name of Tulsa Interagency Council was changed to Tulsa Interagency Council Foundation on 10/12/05 when this entity became a non profit Oklahoma Corporation.

Consequently, it is agreed that this organization shall continue to operate under the name of Tulsa Interagency Council in all of its normal activities and business dealings.
