Dwight Kealoha has been named interim executive director of recently reorganized Unity House, the nonprofit labor organization troubled by legal problems.

Kealoha last served in various positions at Kamehameha Schools, including director of information technology, interim chief of administration, facilitator for the school's strategic plan and director of the Pauahi Leadership Institute.

He is a graduate of Iolani School, the University of Hawai'i-Manoa and the University of Utah graduate school.

Before working with Kamehameha Schools, Kealoha served as Commander of the Hawai'i Air National Guard.

Federal agents seized control of Unity House in December after the indictment of two top officials, Anthony Rutledge Sr. and his son, Aaron Rutledge, on federal fraud and conspiracy charges.

But under the terms of a plea agreement pending approval in federal court, the two Rutledges would plead guilty to reduced criminal charges and Unity House would revert to the control of its previous board of directors.

Unity House's stated mission is to promote the "true and proper interest of the working people of Hawai'i" and help raise their standard of living and working conditions.
