Alpine Bank announced recent promotions for Nikki Clark and Carissa Crawford in its downtown Grand Junction branch and Brandon Cummings in Alpine’s Clifton branch.

Alpine Bank said in a news release that Clark was promoted from banking officer to assistant vice president for the Mesa County region. Clark joined Alpine Bank in 2020 and specializes in residential and commercial lending. In her expanded role, she will take on additional branch-management responsibilities while continuing to support customers and business partners and advancing Alpine Bank’s mission of relationship-based banking and community engagement.

Crawford was promoted to banking officer following her successful completion of the bank’s officer-trainee program. Known for her commitment to leadership and community involvement, Crawford will focus on residential and commercial lending in her new role.

“Watching employees take on new challenges, develop their skills and step into leadership roles is an important part of our culture and reflects Alpine Bank’s commitment to investing in our people,” said Tom Oliver, senior vice president and manager of the downtown Grand Junction branch. “Seeing someone realize their potential and make an impact in their community is what it’s all about.”

Cummings recently completed Alpine Bank’s officer-trainee program and has been promoted to banking officer. In his new role, Cummings will focus on residential and commercial lending.

“Having started my own Alpine Bank journey in the officer-trainee program, it’s especially meaningful to see others reach this milestone and continue building their careers here,” said Jerry Gryglak, vice president and manager of the Clifton branch.
