After her interest in aviation was ignited, McQueen organized the Women's Aeronautic Association of California, which was soon merged with similar organizations internationally into the Women's International Association of Aeronautics (WIAA). The organization became the principal focus of McQueen's life. In addition to being the founding member, she was also the first vice-president of the WIAA.
