President of the Board, Peter Dolan, welcomed the new members to the Board and discussed the necessity of working together to improve the comics industry. He also thanked retiring Treasurer Ralph Mathieu (Alternate Reality), for his many years of service.

Discussing how he was very thankful for the opportunity to lead the organization for the past few years, Mathieu believed it was the right time to step down. “I wanted to pass on the baton. I will still be a member because I believe ComicsPRO has made this industry stronger and will continue to do so.”
