AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah has promoted Kamili Moreland to general counsel, the first time the company has appointed an African-American woman to the position.
The company announced Moreland's appointment as senior vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary in a press release Monday. In her new role, Moreland will have a greater influence on AAA NCNU's strategies and policies.
“This allows me to work more closely with our business partners to ensure we are reaching our strategic goals in a way that's not as risky, or at least to decrease the risk,” Moreland said in a statement. “It's about positioning yourself to be able to enable the business to make the right decisions for our Members.”
Moreland has been with AAA NCNU since 2011. Coming from Seyfarth Shaw, where she was a partner, Moreland said she wanted the challenge of working directly for a company rather than a number of different clients.
At Seyfarth Shaw and her first firm, Carroll, Burdick & McDonough, Moreland worked in employment law. She wanted to “ensure people were being treated fairly, and that companies were doing the right thing,” she said.
Moreland began her time at AAA NCNU as vice president of legal and compliance, advising the company's sales agency, emergency road service, member relations and other parts of the business operations. She also managed litigation, according to her LinkedIn profile.
AAA NCNU's chief executive officer and president Tim Condon said Moreland also was instrumental in helping the company integrate four new states—Arizona, Alaska, Montana and Wyoming—into its purview in recent years. Condon said she also helped shape programs on leadership and diversity and inclusion.
“Elevating Kamili to the executive level reflects her emergence as a trusted advisor and our deep commitment to diversity,” Condon said in a statement. “Kamili has been incredibly successful in her career at AAA. She will play an important role in the pursuit of our vision to transform our organization for the next 100 years.”
