OUR STORY
NYSAE was Founded in 1919 by Emmett Hay Naylor
“It is important that the business world generally knows that the work of the trade association is a profession, and that when trade associations require executives they should look for a man skilled in the profession...”
Emmett Hay Naylor
Emmett Hay Naylor was not only NYSAE's – then known as Trade Organization Secretaries in New York City – first President in 1919 but also, in 1920, founding President of ASAE then known as American Trade Association Executives. Naylor was also author of the first book on association management: “Trade Associations: Their Organization and Management” published January 3, 1921.
At the time, Naylor’s full-time job was secretary-treasurer of the Book Paper, Cover Paper, Tissue Paper and Writing Paper Manufacturers Associations of New York, NY. According to a history provided by the American Forest & Paper Association, the Writing Paper Association, which was formed in 1861, became Naylor’s society, Writing Paper Manufacturers Association in 1863.
Sometime after Naylor’s tenure, it and related groups eventually morphed into what is today the American Forest & Paper Association. Naylor, who was born in 1885 and died in 1938, is buried in Springfield, MA.
