Rudy Johnson is the President and CEO of the Neighborhood House Association (NHA) in San Diego, CA.

He has been selected as one of Diversity MBA Magazine’s Top 100 emerging leaders, and in 2017, he was awarded the Excellence in Achievement Award in Business from the Texas Southern University National Alumni Association. He is also the recipient of the USS Midway Museum’s 2020 Bridge Builder Award.
