Shelly Straub is creator and publisher of Connextions Magazine. Straub re-enters the trade publishing arena as a welcome addition to New York's efforts to rejuvenate the local LGBT economy, and fills a powerful niche through the creation of Connextions Magazine. Straub is utilizing her experience in project management, scheduling, coordination, reporting, administration and accounting to create a multi-interest journal serving the field. Her previous publications include: Builder/Architect, CNY Architecture & Construction, AIA CNY monthly newsletter, AIA NYS Desk Reference and the award winning AIA CNY Annual Design & Build Award Ceremony publication.

"I have climbed the corporate ladder, even making my way into the world of wind energy but just don't have the passion that I find through publishing," says Straub.

The journey through "Gay" America will take approximately 8 years to complete, publishing six issues per year. The online poll gives our readers an opportunity to choose the next featured state for Issue #2. To follow our tour, please log on to our website at:
