December 20 2010 - 1:43PM
Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:RVSB) today announced the
appointment of Bess R. Wills, General Manager/Co-Owner of Gresham
Ford, to the Board of Directors for Riverview Community Bank and
Riverview Bancorp, Inc.
"Bess is one of the leading, if not the most recognized
businessperson in Gresham and East Multnomah County," said Pat
Sheaffer, Chairman and CEO of Riverview Bancorp. "Since she assumed
management of Gresham Ford in 2003, the franchise and the entire
community has benefitted from her leadership and her strong
finance, marketing and community relations experience. Her business
skills as well as her passion for helping others have elevated
Gresham Ford – "the Dealer with a Heart," to community pillar
status as evidenced by her selection as the Volunteer of the Year
by the readers of The Gresham Outlook for the past three years and
as a recipient of the 2009-2010 President's Award by the Ford Motor
Company as one of the top 10% of Ford Dealerships in the United
States."
Ms. Wills works with numerous non-profit and charitable
organizations and currently serves on the Board of Directors for
the Gresham Chamber of Commerce, East Metro Economic Alliance and
the Gresham Barlow Education Foundation and co-chairs the "Try
Local First" coalition in East Multnomah County. Earlier this year,
she was recognized with a Community Applause Award by the Oregon
Bankers Association.
"The addition of Bess will bring diversity and a unique
perspective to our strong Board," continued Sheaffer. "Her
experience from a decade of managing and growing an umbrella of car
dealerships in challenging markets will be extremely valuable. She
spent the previous ten years managing a real estate construction
company so she understands not only the needs of our retail
clients, but also our builders and developers. We admire her
community spirit, which meshes perfectly with the Riverview
philosophy. The Bank is determined to grow its brand of community
banking throughout the Gresham area and east Multnomah County and
she will play an important role. We are thrilled to welcome Bess to
the Riverview Board and family."
