Alpine Bank has appointed Susana Salamun to the position of Latino services officer.

She will lead the bank’s commitment to provide service to Latino customers in the 28 Colorado communities served by Alpine Bank.

Salamun, who joined the bank in 2013, has worked in information technology and in the compliance department.

Alpine Bank has made it a priority to serve the growing Latino/Hispanic communities in Colorado for two decades.

One bank program initiated by Young has awarded more than 200 Latino/Hispanic scholarships to attend Colorado Mountain College since 1996.

The bank’s Americas Card has provided customers the opportunity to support the Latino/Hispanic communities since 2007. Under the program, Alpine donates 10 cents for each debit card transaction to local organizations.

Since the card’s creation in 2007, Alpine has donated more than $400,000 on behalf of Americas Card customers.
