EXHIBIT 31.1

                                CERTIFICATION

I, Theron G. Reed, President and Chief Executive Officer of the registrant,
certify that:

(1)   I  have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Community
      National Bancorporation;

(2)   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
      to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
      statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered
      by this quarterly report;

(3)   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
      information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
      material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
      flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
      quarterly report;

(4)   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
      procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for
      the registrant and I have:

      (a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
           disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
           supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
           registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
           me by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
           which this report was being prepared;

      (b)  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
           and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about the
           effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
           end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation;
           and

      (c)  disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
           control over financial reporting that occurred during the
           registrant's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
           or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's
           internal control over financial reporting; and

(5)   I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
      over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
      committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
      the equivalent function):

      (a)  all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
           or operation of internal control over financial reporting, which are
           reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to
           record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

      (b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
           employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
           control over financial reporting.
