Judge Johnson has been named chairman of the 2010 board of trustees of Leadership Georgia.

Leadership Georgia is one of the nation's oldest and most successful leadership training programs for young business, civic and community leaders.

Johnson serves locally on the Washington Street Community Center board as well as on the board of counselors of Oxford College of Emory University.

He also takes time to serve his church, Columbia Drive United Methodist, and is a member of the Covington Kiwanis Club.

We have found Judge Johnson to be a fair and resourceful judge, and we are proud that he now chairs such a worthwhile organization.
