Congratulations to Allison Hill, who has been promoted to president and
chief operating officer of Vroman's Bookstore, Pasadena, Calif. She was
formerly v-p and general manager. Joel Sheldon, president since 1978,
will continue to be involved in strategic decisions as CEO. Hill's
appointment marks the first time in more than 50 years that someone
outside the Sheldon family, longtime owners of Vroman's, has been
president.
At the same time, Clark Mason has been promoted to chief financial officer and controller. He was formerly controller and corporate secretary.
Hill has spent 14 years in bookselling and publishing, including stints at Book Soup, Waterstone's and Simon & Schuster. Mason has worked almost 14 years at Vroman's and earlier worked three and a half years at Book Soup. Both Hill and Mason have become shareholders in Vroman's.
Vroman's is 113 years old and has three locations: two bookstores and one fine writing, gifts and stationery store.
