W. Alan McCollough Elected to Goodyear Board

W. Alan McCollough, former chairman and chief executive officer of Circuit City Stores Inc., has been elected to the Board of Directors of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.

“Alan McCollough is a respected business leader who led a turnaround at Circuit City,” said Goodyear chairman and CEO Robert J. Keegan. “His retail experience and marketing knowledge will be of significant value to our board of directors.”

McCollough joined Circuit City in 1987 as general manager of corporate operations, and served in a number of roles before being elected chairman, president and chief executive officer of the company in 2002. He served in that capacity until 2005, and remained chairman and CEO until his retirement in 2006.

The election of McCollough brings the size of Goodyear’s board to 12 members. The other 11 members were re-elected at the Goodyear shareholders’ meeting held on April 10.
