PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota state budget director Jason Dilges has become president of a national association of state finance officers.
Dilges will be president of the National Association of State Budget Officers for the next year.
Gov. Dennis Daugaard says the selection of Dilges to head the association shows his counterparts across the nation recognize his expertise and knowledge of complex state budget issues.
Dilges joined state government in 1995 as a budget analyst and later became state economist and deputy state budget director. He has been commissioner of the state Bureau of Finance and Management since 2002.
