       Community Bank of Arizona Opens Branch in Fountain Hills

     Experienced Fountain Hills Banker Deanna Workman Named Branch
                                Manager


    GLENDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 8, 2007--Community Bank of
Arizona, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Bancorp (NASDAQ:
CBON), today announced the opening of a new full-service branch in
Fountain Hills, and has named Deanna Workman as its manager. Located
in a new building at 12626 N. Saguaro Blvd., just north of El Lago
Blvd., the branch -- the bank's second in the Valley -- will give
customers access to a broad range of business banking services.

    "We are pleased that we can better serve the thriving Fountain
Hills business community at this new location," said Gerald B. Ernst,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Community Bank of Arizona,
and a Fountain Hills resident. "Our experienced team will offer
customized personal service backed by a comprehensive array of
financial products and resources that only a larger organization can
provide."

    Mr. Ernst led Community Bank of Arizona's predecessor, Cactus
Commerce Bank, for three years. That bank merged with Las Vegas-based
Community Bancorp in September 2006 and was renamed Community Bank of
Arizona in February 2007.

    "Like the Glendale location, this branch will provide commercial
banking services, including real estate, construction, commercial and
SBA loans ranging from $200,000 to $30 million, to small- and
medium-sized businesses in the Valley," said Ms. Workman. The team
will also include Bill Dodge, Vice President and Commercial Loan
Officer, who has been running the bank's loan production office in
Fountain Hills.

    Before joining Community Bank of Arizona, Ms. Workman was employed
for 12 years at Meridian Bank in Fountain Hills. She held a number of
positions, most recently Assistant Vice President and Operations
Officer. She is an active volunteer with The Salvation Army and Make A
Difference.
