Dickinson Wright is pleased to announce that Aleanna Siacon (Associate, Troy) has been named Co-President of the Michigan Asian Pacific American Bar Association (MAPABA). She is also a recipient of the inaugural MAPABA Rising Star Award. Both honors were announced at the MAPABA Lunar New Year Dinner on Feb. 21, 2026.
“I’m honored to be named Co-President of MAPABA for the upcoming 2026-2027 year,” said Aleanna. “I first became a member of MAPABA as a law student and previously served as Treasurer and Vice President. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how MAPABA bridges generations of attorneys, legal professionals, and law students across areas of interest, cultures, identities and different lived experiences. What makes the organization special is its commitment to the pillars of fellowship, mentorship and community. I’m excited to lead MAPABA into this next chapter, while remaining firmly grounded in its foundational values of connection, mutual support and collective advancement – which remain the organization’s compass as we take our first steps into a new year of thoughtful innovation, sustainable growth, and increased visibility.”
As Co-President of MAPABA, Aleanna will spearhead the organization’s events and programming in the coming year to further advance relations between the legal profession and the public.

Honorees were voted upon and selected by MAPABA membership based on their dedication, leadership, and growing impact, which reflects a bright future in the legal profession and serves as an example for future generations of attorneys.
