The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA) has announced a new leadership team. Greg Tunney, chief executive of RG Barry, will serve as the new chairman of FDRA. Nick Grayston, president of footwear at Sears Holdings, will take the helm as FDRA’s vice-chairman.

Blake Krueger, chief executive of Wolverine Worldwide, is stepping down from the trade association after two years as chairman.

“I am honoured and humbled to be selected as the new chairman,” said Greg Tunney. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Blake these past two years as the vice-chairman. He has done an outstanding job as chairman and I’m eager to build upon his work. One of my main goals now is to grow our membership and create new innovative services and products for the industry. I have no doubt we can make that happen.”
