The US-based Two Ten Footwear Foundation has named the CEO of Wolverine, Blake Krueger, as its president for the 2014-2015 term, the charity’s 75th anniversary.

Diane Sullivan, CEO of Brown Shoe Company, has been named vice-chair, with new board members including David Bensadoun, president of ALDO Global Retail; Patrik Frisk, president of Timberland; Dave Grange, president of Lacoste Footwear North America; Scott Meden, executive vice-president of Nordstrom shoe division; Liz Rodbell, president of The Hudson's Bay Company; and Clifton Sifford, CEO of Shoe Carnival.

"Over the last 75 years, the footwear industry has rallied together for one important social cause – promoting the dignity and welfare of shoe people and strengthening our footwear community," said Neal Newman, president of Two Ten.

"Our wonderful and compassionate board, led by Blake and Diane, are laser-focused on unifying the industry and supporting footwear families who need a hand. Six impressive footwear leaders join us this year who share our passion for community service and philanthropy."

Mr Krueger said: “During my career in the footwear industry, Two Ten has been an important focus area of support for Wolverine Worldwide and for me personally. Lending our time, talent and financial assistance to Two Ten is a natural extension of how we support our communities and our footwear industry colleagues in times of need.

Wolverine’s brands includes Merrell, Sperry Top-Sider, Hush Puppies, Saucony, Keds, Stride Rite, Sebago, Caterpillar Footwear and Patagonia Footwear.
