“Knowing that what you do every day is adding to the quality of people’s lives and, in some instances, restoring their lives because of an unforeseen event or circumstance. It is very fulfilling to be a part of an organization that is committed to the holistic prosperity of the communities they serve. The employee-ownership that we offer brings a healthy tension to every decision as the employee-owners recognize and embrace the voice that each of them have in the direction of the company. The transparency with both our team and our clients is refreshing and fosters a trust that is highly valued and sometimes unique to our industry.”

Tammy joined Ollis/Akers/Arney in May of 2018 as the director of marketing and community relations, a new role created for the growing company.

Although new to the insurance industry, her 30 years of hospitality experience, the last ten dedicated to a high-profile marketing company, provided her with the necessary focus on service and communication needed for the organization that would soon expand to four different office locations.

Tammy is licensed for property and casualty and, as a former hotel executive, has an operational and management perspective on what a solid risk management strategy should look like.

She has been married to her husband Steve for over 30 years, and they have three children, Jamie, Ashley, and Jacob, all of which are firmly situated in their adult careers; both boys serve in the United States Army, and Ashley works for Boeing out of San Antonio, Texas.
