250 appendix c administrators For nearly two decades, CAA was managed by its volunteer leadership—the president, other officers, and directors. Since there are no extant minutes of the board before 1930, we are dependent on references in CAA’s publications for information , usually notes of the annual business meetings. As late as December 1925, when the organization had been fourteen years in existence, there was no mention of any expenditure for staff.

It is likely that she became involved as early as mid-1926, when her husband, Professor Philip McMahon , became a director and CAA was given office space at New York University, Washington Square, where Professor McMahon taught.
