Amanda Rubeck, vice president and senior retail officer at STAR Bank, Fort Wayne, has been honored with the Indiana Bankers Association 2023 Woman on the Rise award, sponsored by Amundsen Davis LLC. She was presented with the award on Thursday, Nov. 9, during the IBA Banking on Women conference.
This honor recognizes a woman in banking age 40 or younger who is making a significant impact in her industry and community through engagement, drive and teamwork.
“Amanda won’t be the loudest voice in a room, but she listens to what is and is not said in the room then offers thorough and thoughtful responses,” her nominator said. “She advocates for others to have a seat at the table and will work to ensure there is representation.”
Rubeck has been with STAR Bank for five years and has more than 20 years of banking experience overall. Among her many points of community service, she is a board member of the Zionsville Community Development Corporation, Redevelopment Commission and town Finance Committee. Rubeck also serves on the zWORKS Board of Directors and volunteers with Habitat for Humanity and Junior Achievement of Central Indiana.
She earned an associate degree from IUPUI and certificate of achievement in global financial crisis study from Yale University.
“Amanda Rubeck is truly ‘on the rise,’” said Amber R. Van Til, IBA president & CEO. “She is dedicated not only to her own growth as a lifelong learner, but the growth of others through leadership reading recommendations, fun and engaging leadership lessons, and encouraging professional connections in local communities. I am ecstatic to count Amanda among the Indiana banking community and cannot wait to see what she does next.”
