National Astrological Association (NAA)
National Astrological Association (NAA)
At various intervals throughout the twentieth century, the growing astrological community has been engaged in the arduous process of organizing. The NAA, founded by Llewellyn George, was one important step toward a national federation of astrologers. It was organized in Hollywood, California, at a convention held July 19-23, 1927. George was elected the first president. In spite of the organizational name, membership was drawn mainly from the West Coast. Original cooperating members included most of the leading astrologers and astrological organizations in California, the Torch Center of Vancouver, British Columbia, and the Astrological Research Bureau and School of Boston, Massachusetts. The NAA's plans for a campus-based astrological college were never brought to fruition. It was eventually superseded by the American Federation of Astrologers, organized in 1938.
