In the business world a few Chicanas have been able to achieve leadership roles. One of them, Romana Acosta Bañuelos of Los Angeles, beginning in the 1950s developed a food-processing business and later moved into banking as well. In 1969 she was named Outstanding Businesswoman of the Year in Los Angeles. Nuevomexicana Katherine Ortega, who financed her college education by working in an Alamogordo bank, became the founder of a successful accounting firm and later became a well-known southwestern banker. Also in New Mexico, Nina Otero Warren, although primarily an educator most of her life, came to be a prominent leader in the real estate and insurance business in Santa Fe. Tejana Cathi Villalpando achieved distinction in the oil business and in communications, and in California actress Lynda Córdoba Carter has her own dramatic production company and. is also an entrepreneur in the cosmetics industry. During the eighties Ofelia Viontejano became recognized as an outstanding fashion designer. Nearly all of these Chicanas also took active roles on a variety of fronts through community groups, social agencies, unions, and networks in law, business, and higher education.
