Oak Valley Community Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oak Valley Bancorp, promoted Lisa Melville to vice president and commercial loan officer.
Melville has been in banking for more than 40 years, nearly 20 of which have been in commercial banking. When Oak Valley acquired Mother Lode Bank in 2015, Melville was a great fit with the commercial team. She has played an integral role in representing both Sonora, CA branches and serving clients throughout Tuolumne County, as well as the Eastern Sierra. In addition, Melville has been instrumental in the bank’s efforts to assist businesses in the Mother Lode region with PPP loan and forgiveness applications.
Melville will continue to focus on commercial lending and business development.
“I can’t say enough about Lisa’s work ethic and professionalism. She is a key employee whom we greatly rely on in the Sierra region and is highly deserving of this promotion,” Gary Stephens, executive vice president of the commercial banking group at Oak Valley, said.
