Rudy Johnson

Johnson is currently President and CEO of the San Diego-based Neighborhood House Association, one of the largest multi-purpose nonprofits in San Diego County. Having spent most of his life in San Diego, he is inspired by the struggles that families, children, and seniors face each day to make ends meet and knows that the programs and services NHA provides make a huge difference in their lives and in the community as a whole. As a child, Johnson participated in NHA’s Federal Head Start program.

Today, he leads the organization with great passion and a vision that has transformed NHA into one of the nation’s model human services agencies, with 24 programs, 800 employees, a $96 million budget, and an economic impact of more than $200 million to the local area. As an accomplished senior executive, Johnson has a career record of providing business insight, transformational leadership, and strategic vision, including stints with the City of San Diego and the San Diego Convention Center.
