Rushing will succeed outgoing chairman Ralph Rueda De Leon, who served in the role for three years and will continue to serve as a director of the Bank.
Rushing said the SCVBank fills the gap for small businesses left by national and international banks, which fails to understand the financial needs of the local merchants and farmers.
Having been a state licensed broker since 1979, Rushing owns Rushing Real Estate & Investment Company and has been a member of the Ventura County Coastal Association of Realtors.
He is the former president of the Santa Paula/Fillmore Board of Realtors and is also a founding director of Santa Clara Valley Bank.
Santa Clara Valley Bank provides various commercial banking services to individuals and small businesses in the Santa Clara River Valley area and Santa Clarita Valley area, California, US.
