Boston Resident Named 10 Under 10 Honoree

Nichols College recognizes Anna Dyakiv

by Jillian Riches

Dudley, MA (08/17/2021) — Anna Dyakiv, a Boston resident and Senior VIP Member Experience Executive for the Boston Celtics is named a 10 Under 10 honoree by Nichols College. This year the 10 Under 10 Award was created to recognize GOLD graduates (Graduates Of the Last Decade) for outstanding accomplishments in leadership, service, career and character. Our first class of leaders includes a police officer, entrepreneur, business owner, national security analyst, and a VIP executive with the Boston Celtics. Awardees were honored in a virtual ceremony on July 29, 2021.

Dyakiv considers Nichols College to be the foundation of her success with the Boston Celtics. She was an involved student, playing women's tennis (inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019) and serving as a student ambassador. She continues her involvement as a member of the Board of Trustees and a wonderful representation of women in sports.

Dyakiv commented, "[Former President] Susan Engelkemeyer and [Former Athletic Director] Charlie Robert have been amazing mentors of mine since the day I met them. They are strong hard working, dedicated women who have paved the path for the rest of us; they make the unfeasible seem possible."
