Las Vegas Business Press names GM

Debbie Donaldson was hired as general manager of the Las Vegas Business Press.

Laura Carroll of the Business Press writes, “A 13-year resident of Las Vegas, she is a past president of the American Marketing Association and the American Advertising Federation.

“Donaldson says she has very specific goals for the Business Press.

“‘Every business we deal with has been battered,’ Donaldson said. ‘We have taken a few licks on the chin here, too, so my goal is to get more copies in the hands of business owners, managers and decision-makers in town, which is our core readership.’

“She plans to accomplish this by partnering with organizations in the community to support their missions and draw business and education together.”
