In January 1948 Austin gave a talk for the Baháʼís in Dayton, Ohio, with the Baháʼí community thankful for the newspaper coverage. It was also noted she was chairman of the legal committee for the National Council for Colored Women, (NCNW). She was in Cincinnati in February, and then a symposium on women and the United Nations in March. The goal of Canada forming its own national Baháʼí assembly was achieved and Austin attended their first Canadian national convention, and co-presented during a 2 hour public meeting there. Austin was again elected to the US national assembly, spoke at the public meeting during that session and at the convention Austin and Borrah Kavelin held and presented on a workshop "Education to remove prejudice" for attendees of the convention. In October Austin was at a National Council of Negro Women meeting at the White House saying a Baháʼí prayer, and was visible at a "One world concert" held in DC.
