By March of 2009, these are the goals we will strive to achieve by our actions in the community and over the internet:

1. Provide Weekly E-mails where artists and retailers can share ideas about what they are doing to help recruit new readers and improve sales and promotions within the comic book industry.
2. Increase the number of our retailer members to 500.
3. Increase the number of our professional members to 300.
4. Increase the number of our reader members to 1000
5. Help increase comic book and comic book related products sales by 10%.
6. Help decrease the number of comic book store closings.
7. Provide assistance to new and existing comic book stores.
8. Motivate and facilitate professionals to make at least five appearances a year in Junior and Senior High School classes.
9. Help set up at least 20 comic book clubs in Junior and Senior High School classes
10. Build a stronger community within our industry.

Thanks for listening. I hope you decide to join the fight.
