Tonia Yard, Finance Manager

I am a native Pittsburgh girl, but I haven’t lived there in 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 sophomore at Hudson High School and enjoys playing on the golf and hockey teams. Both of our daughters are in college now, one a freshman at Clemson University and the other a junior at University of South Carolina.

I have recently become involved in 100 Women Strong Ohio, a charitable organization that pools together resources for locals; it’s important to me to work with an organization making a positive impact in our community.
