Starion Bank has named Craig Larson, Chairman of the Board of Directors, as interim Chief Executive Officer while the bank searches for a new executive leader.

Don Morgan, Starion’s CEO since 2022, was recently appointed as the new President/CEO of the Bank of North Dakota. Morgan spent more than ten years serving in various executive and leadership positions at Starion Bank.

“On behalf of all of us at Starion Bank, I’d like to thank Don for his valuable contributions and congratulate him on his achievement. It’s wonderful to know he’ll be leading an organization that is such a good partner to community banks like Starion.” says Larson.

Craig Larson joined Starion in 1985 and served as CEO from 1997 through 2021. In this time, the bank grew significantly and expanded its reach to Dunseith, Rolla, Bottineau and Fargo, North Dakota, and Madison, Wisconsin. As Chairman of the Board, Larson has continued developing the overall vision, strategy, and governance for the community bank.

“My dedication to Starion Bank’s success is unwavering. I’m honored to serve in this capacity once again, albeit temporarily, to maintain our upward momentum,” says Larson.
