Since 2019, Laurie has served as a NACCU faculty member for the NACCU Standards and Guidelines (SAGs) program and evaluates the program for improvements after each course. She has served NACCU as a liaison to the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS), an initiative that provides NACCU with an assessment and evaluation tool that is recognized throughout the higher education industry’s upper administrators, and has elevated the profile and status of the card office. She has been a member of the NACCU Professional Development Committee, served as NACCU Book Club facilitator, a conference moderator, mentor, and presenter. She even authored the Wikipedia article for Campus Cards. Laurie Harris provides excellence in every NACCU program she participates in, and deserves to be recognized at the level of this award for what she has achieved and continues to achieve for NACCU and our industry.
