A lifelong Laconia resident, Leia has deep roots in the Lakes Region and a genuine passion for serving the community she proudly calls home. She has built a career centered on leadership and service, spending more than a decade as a chocolatier at Kellerhaus before transitioning into banking. Today, she serves as Branch Manager of the Bank of New Hampshire’s Moultonborough office, where she continues to make a positive impact through both her professional leadership and community involvement.

Leia holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management with a concentration in Leadership and brings experience in public relations, event planning, fundraising, and recruitment. Since 2020, she has served on the Celebrate Laconia Board of Directors and has been its Treasurer since 2021. Her commitment to volunteerism began as a teenager when she served as a Page at the Laconia Public Library, and that dedication to giving back has remained a constant throughout her life.

When asked why she chose to join Kiwanis, Leia’s answer reflected exactly what our organization is about: community involvement. She shared that she loves Laconia and enjoys supporting and volunteering in any way she can. Inspired by a family tradition of community service, she is excited to continue making a difference through Kiwanis.

Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Leia to the Laconia Kiwanis family. We look forward to serving alongside her as we continue our mission of improving the lives of children and strengthening our Lakes Region communities. We know her enthusiasm, leadership, and caring spirit will make her a wonderful addition to our club.

Congratulations, Leia! We are honored to have you as part of the Laconia Kiwanis Club and look forward to the many ways you will help us continue changing lives—one child, one family, and one act of service at a time.
