Emily Dieker, George Washington University
Phoenix, AZ – April 30, 2026 – NACCU is honored to recognize Emily Dieker, Director of the GWorld Program at George Washington University, as the recipient of the NACCU 2026 Outstanding Volunteer Award. Julie Beckius, Strategic Alliance Development Manager with NACCU Champion level sponsor, Entrust, presented the award to Emily during the Awards Luncheon at the NACCU 2026 Annual Conference in Covington, Kentucky on April 22, 2026.
The NACCU Outstanding Volunteer Award is presented annually to recognize an individual who has demonstrated exemplary volunteer service to the mission, goals, and work of NACCU during the current or previous calendar year and encompasses the ideals of vision, diligence and commitment to service to the NACCU community.
Emily Dieker received the NACCU 2026 Outstanding Volunteer Award in recognition of nearly a decade of service, leadership, and dedication to the association and the campus credential profession.
A frequent and trusted presenter, Emily has contributed to NACCU conferences, webinars, round tables, and Listserv discussions, generously sharing her knowledge and expertise with members. Her service extends well beyond presentations. She has supported conference check-in, facilitated NetworX groups including Women in Credential Leadership and Access Control, contributed to summer projects, shared resources through The Vault, and provided content for the Positive IDentity blog.
One of Emily’s most meaningful contributions has been her long-standing service to NACCU’s Standards and Guidelines program. After participating as a cohort member, she went on to serve as SAGs faculty across multiple cohorts, one of the association’s most demanding volunteer roles. In that capacity, she has mentored and encouraged countless professionals, helping others grow and succeed.
Whether working one-on-one with colleagues, leading educational sessions, or mentoring the next generation of campus card professionals, Emily consistently goes above and beyond. Her generosity, leadership, and unwavering commitment to NACCU make her exceptionally deserving of this recognition.
NACCU is delighted to honor Emily Dieker as the recipient of the NACCU 2026 Outstanding Volunteer Award.
