Mr. George Melton of Ojai has been elected to the Board of Directors of Ojai Community Bank, effective October 17, 2011. The announcement of Mr. Melton’s election was provided by Donald Scanlin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank.

Scanlin noted, “George Melton is a brilliant businessman and has vast experience in leadership and collaboration. We are fortunate that he has decided to lend his wisdom and insight to the Ojai Community Bank board. His gentle, yet direct manner meshes well with our members and he will be a great addition to our team.”

He is currently chairman, chief executive officer and president of Wyle, headquartered in El Segundo, California. He was named to the position early in 2005 concurrent with Wyle’s acquisition of the Aeronautics Service business of General Dynamics.

George was born and raised in Tennessee and found his way to California in 1968. He and his wife Peggy have owned a home in the Ojai Valley since 1987.

They are both committed to the health and vitality of the community. He has recently joined the Ojai Libbey Bowl Foundation Board of Directors and is a strong supporter of the Ojai Valley Community Hospital Foundation.

The Ojai Community Bank Board members welcome Mr. Melton as the bank’s newest board member and look forward to the expertise he brings to the board and the bank as a whole.
