Trudy Armstrong

Trudy joined San Diego Foundation in 2008 and built the Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, 4SRanch-Del Sur, Ramona, and La Jolla affiliates. Through her dedication and leadership, Trudy was named Associate Vice President of Regional Outreach in 2011.

Having lived and worked for years in the communities of Rancho Bernardo, Poway and Escondido, Trudy is extremely knowledgeable of the Inland North County area.

Prior to joining the Foundation, Trudy spent a number of years in the newspaper industry, most recently as the Director of Sales and Marketing of the Pomerado Newspaper Group. She also served as the General Manager of the Bernardo News. Trudy is a graduate of Ohio University.
