Second Generation Drum Stages Coup of Heroes in Bid For the Throne

July 16, 2010 By: Shelley Drum Category: DISCUSS, Heroes Aren't Hard To Find, HeroesCon, NEWS

As some of you may have heard, I am happy to announce that I am the new store manager at Heroes! Iā€™m part of the second generation of Drumā€™s to work at Heroes and the first to be involved in the management team. Iā€™ve officially been working in the store on and off for about seven years now. Iā€™ve done most jobs associated with the store including warehouse organization, shipping, clerking and updating the website. Most significantly, Iā€™ve run Pre-Registration and check-in for HeroesCon for the past 5 years and Iā€™m excited to move into the next phase of my involvement in the store.

Iā€™ve been interested in doing more with the store for the last few years. Shawnā€™s move into a new position presented a golden opportunity to join the management team. I will not only be handling weekly ordering for the store but will also be happy to process any special requests our customers may have! Iā€™m confident that my already extensive exposure to and love of comics will be an asset in providing our customers with the kinds of products and service that they expect from Heroes.

Shawn, Seth, and I have already begun to scheme up new and exciting changes for the store and HeroesCon 2011. Shawn and I will be at the San Diego Comic-ConĀ next weekend promoting HeroesCon! Stay tuned for updates on the Heroes Online blog!
