Welcome to the 2020 Annual Meeting for Wolverine Worldwide Inc. Our host for today's call is Blake Krueger, Chairman, CEO, and President. At this time, all participants will be in listen-only mode. I will now turn the call over to your host, Blake Krueger. Please go ahead, sir.
Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 2020 Annual Shareholders Meeting of Wolverine Worldwide. My name is Blake Krueger, and I'm the Chairman, CEO, and President of Wolverine. Before we get started, I wanted to note that the safety and well-being of our shareholders, employees, and communities continues to be our top priority as we navigate the impacts of COVID-19.
For that reason, we moved this year's annual meeting to a virtual format, which will operate a little differently than our in-person meetings in the past. If you have a question about the proposals being voted on today or other matters, we ask that you submit it now through the meeting website to ensure we receive your question before the end of this call.
In addition, if you would like to vote your shares today, please do so now through the meeting website to ensure that we receive your vote. If you've already voted or submitted your proxy, there is no need to vote again. With that said, I'd like to officially open the Wolverine Worldwide 2020 Annual Meeting. We have three items on the ballot for consideration at this meeting. The first item is the election of four directors for three-year terms expiring at the 2023 Annual Meeting.
They are Bill Gerber. Bill is the managing director of Cabrillo Point Capital, a private investment fund. Previously, Bill was Executive Vice President and CFO of Kelly Services, a global staffing solutions company. Bill has been a director of Wolverine for 12 years. Tom Long.

Mike is the current Chairman and former CEO of Herman Miller, a designer and manufacturer of furnishings for the office and home. Mike has been a director of Wolverine for 15 years.
Finally, there's me. I've been a director for 14 years. I would also like to briefly introduce our incumbent directors who are with us today. Jeff Boromisa. Jeff previously was the Executive Vice President of Kellogg International, President of Latin America, and Senior Vice President of Kellogg Company, a leading global cereal, snack, and specialty foods company.
In a prior role, Jeff also served as CFO of Kellogg. Jeff has been a director of Wolverine for 14 years. Gina Boswell.

Also in attendance are representatives from Ernst & Young and members of the company's management team, including Mike Stornant, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Kyle Hanson, our Senior Vice President and General Counsel. Finally, Dave Latchana and Jennifer Miller are in attendance as our election inspectors. The second item is a vote on an advisory resolution on executive compensation, as disclosed in the company's proxy statement.
The third item up for vote today is the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2020. At this time, the polls are closed, voting is concluded, and I will receive the result from the inspectors of election. No changes? Okay.
I have now received the results from the elections inspectors, and I'm pleased to report that as of the latest tally, a significant majority of shares voted for the re-election of the four director nominees, for approval of our executive compensation, and for the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young.
That officially brings our 2020 annual meeting to a close. Let me check to see if we have received any questions from our shareholders. Okay, we have not received any questions, so I just want to say please, keep safe and healthy. Thanks for your time today and for your continued support of Wolverine Worldwide. Thank you.
This now concludes the meeting. Thank you for joining, and have a pleasant day.
