Michael Dummer has been named the new deputy director at the South Dakota Division of Banking.

Dummer replaces Deputy Director John Crompton, who retired Aug. 1 after more than 30 years of dedicated service to the department.

Dummer, formerly the training director and a senior examiner, was appointed deputy director on Aug. 7. Dummer joined the department in May 2006 and is a certified senior bank examiner. He has a bachelor’s degree from South Dakota State University in Brookings.

“I am confident that Mike will provide strong leadership in his new role,” said Director of Banking Bret Afdahl in an email announcing the promotion. “Please join me in welcoming him to his new position and thanking John for his dedicated service.”
