Thought Leadership

Greg Backley
President and CEO
"Many times over the years, I’ve been asked what makes our organization special and why I have stayed for over 30 years. I am always proud to respond: our purpose and our people! Our mission is supported by a very strong foundation of dedicated and talented employees. A big part of that strength is our diversity because it creates an atmosphere where we can better relate to all the members we serve and to each other. This not only helps make our company more successful, but it also helps us grow professionally and personally. I strongly support an environment where employees can be authentic and have a strong connection and sense of belonging with our organization."
Herman Jenkins
​​​​​​​Group Manager - Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
“Our continued focus on embracing diversity fosters a feeling of belonging for all employees, expands our organization’s outreach, and serves as a pillar for future growth. Supporting Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging initiatives means supporting our coworkers, communities, and valued AAA members.”

Business Resource Groups

Our employee-led Business Resource Groups (BRGs) are instrumental in promoting an inclusive workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and engaged. Our BRGs help us harness our diversity by celebrating our unique differences and fostering greater understanding among our employees.

Giving Back to Diverse Communities


​​​​​​​We are making a greater impact on the communities we serve by supporting underserved populations with the tools they need to be successful. With sponsorships and volunteer efforts from our employees, we are partnering with organizations around our regional hubs that are prominent in their local communities and that focus on education and development opportunities for underrepresented youth.
