Tonia Yard, Finance Manager

I am a native Pittsburgh girl, but I haven’t lived there for 25 years. I spent nine years in Charlotte, North Carolina, before relocating to Cleveland for my husband’s job. We have spent the past 16 years living in Hudson and raising our three children. Our family has loved our time in Hudson, with its excellent schools and the friendliest people around.

Our favorite thing to do is explore the park systems, especially the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and its numerous hiking trails. We can be found there several times a week! We also enjoy the many concert venues, both large and small, and checking out new restaurants and breweries. We’re avid travelers and love anything sports-related – golfing, football, hockey and baseball!

Our son is a senior at Hudson High School and enjoys playing on the golf and hockey teams and hopes to major in Professional Golf Management/Business. We have two daughters who have fled the nest. Our oldest graduated from the University of S. Carolina and is living in Austin, TX.  Our younger daughter is a nursing student at Clemson University.

I am proud to be involved in 100 Women Strong Ohio, a charitable organization that pools together resources of its members and has multiple “giving” events throughout the year. It’s important to me to work with an organization making a positive impact in our community.
