Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
The Bylaws of Valley Financial Corporation (the “Company”) provide that no person shall stand for re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) if such person reaches the age of 75 prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders at which an election of directors is held.  As a result of this provision, on February 24, 2011, the Board accepted Dr. Ward Stevens’ notice that he will not stand for re-election to the Board at the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

Also on February 24, 2011, Barbara Lemon announced that she is retiring from the Board, as she will turn 75 in July 2011.  Her retirement will be effective as of the Annual Meeting, and therefore she also will not stand for re-election to the Board at the Annual Meeting.
 
Item 5.03.
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On February 24, 2011, in connection with Dr. Stevens’s and Ms. Lemon’s announcements that they will not stand for re-election to the Board, the Board authorized an amendment to the Company’s Bylaws. The amendment will revise Section 2.2 of the Bylaws to decrease the size of the Company’s Board of Directors from fourteen (14) to twelve (12) directors.  The amendment will not become effective until May 4, 2011, the date of the Annual Meeting.

The text of the amendment to the Bylaws, effective May 4, 2011, is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this report.
