MASON, Mich., April 21, 2025 – Dart Bank’s AVP/Treasury Management Officer, Leia Cooper-Rigg, was selected as a 2025 40 Over 40 honoree by The Association of Junior Leagues International (AJLI). This inaugural award celebrates women over the age of 40 who demonstrate exceptional leadership, professional excellence, and a deep commitment to service.
Leia was selected from a group of women representing more than 297 Junior Leagues across six countries – a testament to her leadership, service, and dedication both inside and outside Dart Bank. A proud member of the Junior League of Lansing, she currently serves as President-Elect and Nominating Chair, after previously holding the role of Education VP.
Known at Dart Bank for her passion for serving others, Leia spent seven years on the Human Resources team before transitioning into Treasury Management in 2021. Her ability to build relationships and craft personalized, client-focused solutions has earned her respect throughout the Bank and beyond.
In addition to her work at Dart Bank and within the Junior League, Leia has served as Chair and Vice Chair of the Michigan Bankers Association’s HR and Rising Leaders committees. She is a past recipient of the MBA Rising Leaders Scholarship, represented the association in Washington, D.C., and was Class President of the 2023 Perry School of Banking. She also lends her time locally as a board member for the Mason Area Chamber of Commerce and advisor to the Wilson Talent Center’s Business Program.
“Leia embodies everything we value at Dart Bank – service, leadership, and a genuine commitment to the people we support every day,” said Michelle Carpenter, SVP/Senior Treasury Management and Retail Officer at Dart Bank. “She’s built strong relationships across our communities and our organization, and this award is a well-deserved recognition of the impact she continues to make.”
