How many years was Carrie Chapman catt president of the NAWSA?

About nine years total, but they were not consecutive. The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) was founded in 1890 and its best-known founding member was Susan B. Anthony, who was also its first president. In 1900, Carrie Chapman Catt became president, and she served in that role till 1904. She left because her husband was in failing health (he died about a year later), and after his death, she joined another women's suffrage group, the International Woman Suffrage Alliance. But in 1915, NAWSA reached out to her-- the group was having problems, members were leaving, and her leadership skills were seen as essential to saving the organization. So, she returned to the role of President and served till 1920, when women finally won the right to vote. She then left NAWSA, but she was instrumental in creating a new organization, the League of Women Voters.
