LaNiece R. Tyree, assistant vice president for auxiliary enterprises at Howard University in Washington, D.C., was recently elected president of the National Association of College Auxiliary Services. She is the first woman of color and the first leader from a historically Black college or university to hold the post.
Tyree now leads the association’s 12-member board, providing strategic oversight and direction for key initiatives and shaping the future of auxiliary services in higher education. Taking on the highest NACAS leadership role, she will guide the organization in its mission to support higher education professionals in auxiliary services across North America.
“As the first woman of color and the first leader from an HBCU in this position, I’m honored to be part of this historic moment. We are pushing NACAS into a future where equity, inclusion, and collaboration drive our mission.”
Before joining the staff at Howard University in 2022, Tyree was the director of auxiliary services and event management for Prince George’s Community College in Maryland.
Tyree is a graduate of the University of Florida and earned a master’s degree degree in human resources and nonprofit management from the University of West Florida in Pensacola.
