Rhonda Walker Foundation: A New Chapter Ahead

FREMONT, CA: After five years of great leadership at the Rhonda Walker Foundation (RWF), CEO Ruselda Villanueva Johnson will leave the organization. Johnson's amazing 40 years of experience, knowledge, and esteemed reputation in the nonprofit industry have been crucial to the foundation's growth and success.

During Johnson's tenure, the foundation accomplished significant milestones and had a long-term impact on young teen females. Her remarkable leadership and passion have been crucial in propelling the organization forward.

"Working closely with Ruselda as our CEO has been an absolutely incredible experience," said Rhonda Walker, RWF Founder. "She has not only been an exceptional leader, but also a mentor and a true friend. The impact of her contributions is beyond measure, and we are forever grateful. As we move forward, we maintain confident in the capabilities of our dedicated team, supported by our passionate volunteers, committed board members, and generous supporters."

A comprehensive plan has been implemented to ensure a smooth change in leadership. The RWF Board of Directors seeks a visionary leader to guide the organization into the next stage. Johnson will continue to serve as CEO until the end of the year, helping to choose and transfer her replacement.

"It has been an honor and privilege to work alongside such dedicated individuals and witness the incredible impact we have made in the lives of young girls in our community," said Johnson. A heartfelt thank you extends to the remarkable RWF staff, Board, Teens, Donors, Mentors and countless others who have supported and accompanied me on this awe-inspiring and empowering journey."

To ensure transparency during this transition period, RWF will keep all stakeholders informed and offer updates on the status of the search for a new CEO.
