Shifting gears
Article Abstract:
National Automobile Museum Exec. Dir. Jackie L. Frady has been successful in raising $8.3 million of the $9.8 million the museum needs to eliminate its construction debt by 1998. Frady has been working doubly hard to make the Reno, NV-based museum a profit-making venture since taking over its reins in 1992. The museum had been losing money since its initial year of operation in 1989 before Frady took over. Frady credits her success at the museum to the valuable business insights she gained as a member of the American Business Women's Assn. and several professional museum organizations.

Article Abstract:
Philippine-born Gelly Borromeo is the co-publisher and editor-in-chief of Asian Entrepreneur, the first Asian-oriented business magazine in the US. She and her husband launched the periodical in the early 1990s after realizing that there was no publication that specifically addressed the business concerns of Asian-Americans. Asian Entrepreneur was originally intended as a regional magazine, but it now has a national perspective because of its growing national base.
