Board & Leadership

The ComicsPRO Board of Directors

ComicsPRO has a seven-member volunteer Board of Directors elected by the membership. This is a working board: they each have areas of expertise that define their focus, and also join together to collaborate on big projects like the Annual Conference, the Open House, and Local Comics Shop Day.

Board members

Elected from the membership. Every director runs a shop. The store name under each is where they work when they aren’t doing this.

Executive Director

Our 12-year executive director Marco Davanzo stepped down in July 2026. The Board of Directors is conducting a search for a new Executive Director.
