TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- announces Ashley Leggett has been named Chief People Officer with the responsibility of overseeing a newly formed talent division comprised of the Human Resources, Culture, and Learning and Development departments. In this role, she will drive collaboration across these critical areas, unifying them around a shared goal of delivering extraordinary associate experiences throughout their lifecycles with the Bank.

A Tallahassee native and second-generation banker, Leggett began her banking career in 2008 and held positions as a relationship banker in Commercial Real Estate, Institutional Banking and Business Banking before transitioning into Human Resources. Most recently, Leggett has served the last 18 months in the role of Human Resources senior operations manager, leveraging her 16-year record of service and wealth of experience across multiple disciplines of the Company to drive initiatives that have positively impacted our workforce.

Smith Community Involvement Award, which Capital City Bank confers annually to recognize one associate who best embodies the spirit of volunteerism and selflessly gives of themselves for the benefit of others. Her profound community-mindedness is revealed through extensive community commitments, which include service on the board of the Urban Land Institute, chair of the Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency Citizens Advisory Committee, treasurer at Chaires Methodist Church and secretary of 211 Big Bend. Additionally, Leggett is a former chair of the American Heart Association and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Tallahassee. Leggett’s outstanding leadership and community engagement were recognized in 2023 when she was named Leadership Pacesetter—one of four prestigious Distinguished Leadership Awards conferred annually by Leadership Tallahassee.
