As assistant vice president of public affairs at American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA), Tamra Johnson leads the association’s multimedia communications strategy and long-term consumer education and awareness initiatives. She also helps manage internal and external diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) efforts, including planning for the annual DE&I: Expanding Opportunity in Insurance Conference, co-hosted with the American Council of Life Insurers and the Life Insurance Council of New York. The industry-wide event brings together insurance thought leaders to discuss the current state of diversity and inclusion in the industry and ways insurers can move forward on the issue. She also manages the association’s DE&I Leader Group and plans for the industry’s DE&I Catalog.
In 2020, Johnson helped establish APCIA’s internal diversity and inclusion committee, an internal group of management and non-management staff members who guide the association’s internal DE&I programming. She co-chairs the committee in partnership with the department vice president of human resources.
“I believe the successful advancement of diversity, equity and inclusion within the industry depends on the collaboration of all leaders,” says Johnson. “I am working with the APCIA DE&I Leader Group and Board Working Group on Social Equity and Inclusion to identify opportunities to expand the association’s collaboration with industry partners, with the goal of advancing DE&I initiatives and better serving policyholders and their local communities.”
Prior to joining APCIA, Johnson served as the public relations manager for American Automobile Association (AAA), where she led media relations for the national public affairs team and the Foundation for Traffic Safety. She served as a national spokesperson covering gas prices, travel and road safety research, with coverage frequently appearing on programs like Good Morning America, The Today Show, CBS This Morning, CNN, CNBC, and The Weather Channel. While at AAA, she also served as the Washington, DC office liaison for the Women’s Professional Network, an internal employee resource group focused on advancing women in leadership.
Before joining AAA, Johnson worked as the general assignment reporter for FOX 17 News in Grand Rapids, MI, where she covered breaking news on air and online for the station’s four-hour morning news show.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Michigan State University. She is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
