Good morning, and welcome to the 2021 Annual Shareholders Meeting of Wolverine Worldwide. My name is Blake Krueger, and I'm the chairman and CEO of Wolverine. Before we get started, I wanted to note that this year's annual meeting is again being conducted in a virtual format, a change we made last year due to the impacts of COVID-19. I certainly hope everyone is safe and well. If you have a question about the proposals being voted on today or any other matters, we ask that you submit it now through the meeting website to ensure we receive your question before the end of the meeting. 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, I'd like to officially open the Wolverine Worldwide 2021 Annual Meeting. We have four items on the ballot for consideration at this meeting. The first item is the election of three directors for three-year terms expiring at the 2024 Annual Meeting. They are Roxanne Divol.

David is the former president of Urban Inc., the parent company of multinational lifestyle brands, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, and Free People. David has been a director of Wolverine for 2 years. I'd also like to introduce our incumbent directors who are with us today. I'd like to begin by introducing our newest board member, Kathleen Wilson-Thompson, who began her service on the board yesterday. Kathleen is the recently retired Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer of Walgreens Boots Alliance, a global retail pharmacy, health, and wellness destination. Previously, Kathleen served as Senior Vice President of Human Resources of Kellogg Company.
She is a seasoned executive and director who has been associated with some of the largest consumer-focused businesses in the world, and we are excited to welcome her to our board of directors. Next, Jeff Boromisa.

In a prior role, Jeff also served as CFO of Kellogg. Jeff has been a director of Wolverine for 15 years. Gina Boswell.

Brendan was appointed as President and a director of Wolverine Worldwide in September 2020. Previously, Brendan served as CEO of Vince Holding Corp, a public company and an apparel retailer. Prior to joining Vince, Brendan served as the CEO and President of Bon-Ton Stores. David Kollat. David is President and Chairman of 22 Inc, a company specializing in research and management consulting for retailers and consumer goods companies, and prior to 22 Inc, was the Executive Vice President in charge of marketing for Victoria's Secret. David also serves as the lead director of the board, a position he's held since 2007. David has been a director of Wolverine for 29 years. Tom Long.
Tom is the retired Chief Executive Officer of MillerCoors, a leading beverage company that markets such well-known brands as Miller Lite, Coors Light, Leinenkugel's, and Blue Moon. Before MillerCoors, Tom was in charge of strategic marketing for Coca-Cola. Tom has been a director of Wolverine for 10 years. Then there's me. I've been a director for 15 years. Also in attendance are representatives from Ernst & Young and additional 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, David Latchana and Ileana McAlary are in attendance as our inspectors of election. Before moving to the next item on the ballot, I'd like to just take a moment to recognize Mike Volkema.
Mike is the current Chairman and former CEO of Herman Miller, a designer and manufacturer of furnishings for the office and home. Earlier this week, Mike retired from Wolverine Worldwide's board of directors after 16 years of service. During his tenure, Mike sat on all three of the board standing committees and chaired both the Compensation and Governance Committees. We are extremely grateful to Mike for his dedicated years of service and for his many contributions to the board and the company. I know that he will enjoy spending time with his wife, Val, and their extended family during a very well-deserved retirement. The second item for consideration today 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 2021. The fourth item up for vote today is the approval of the Stock Incentive Plan of 2016, as amended and restated. At this time, the polls are closed, voting is concluded, and I will receive the results from the election inspectors. I have now received the results from the election of inspectors, and I am pleased to report that as of the latest tally, a significant majority of shares, actually over 90%, voted for the re-election of three director nominees, for approval of our executive compensation, for the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young, and for approval of the Stock Incentive Plan of 2016.
That officially brings our 2021 annual meeting to a close. Thank you for your time today and for your continued support of Wolverine Worldwide. Please stay safe and healthy. Thank you.
