The National Association of Professional Background Screeners has changed its name to the Professional Background Screening Association, the Raleigh, N.C.-based group announced.

The new brand and new bylaws were approved by PBSA's membership during the association's annual conference in San Antonio, Texas, on Monday. In a statement, the group said the new name and organizational structure reflects PBSA's growth into global association.

"PBSA has a significant international footprint, and we only expect it to grow larger," said Melissa Sorenson, executive director of PBSA. "It was clear to us that we needed to bring our name and brand in line with what our association is today—a truly global organization."

PBSA rolled out a new logo and website as part of the rebranding.
