These are difficult and unprecedented times. Coronavirus and fires have created a devastating and lasting impact. As we consider who will lead us, I can’t think of anyone better qualified than Tonya Graham.
I’ve known Tonya for 12 years through her involvement in Ashland schools and our community. While her children were in my class at John Muir School, she was devoted to them and supportive of our community. She fostered their self-reliance.
Tonya is insightful and practical. She listens, works with others, and comes up with solutions that make sense.
During this time, Tonya continued her work as executive director of the Geos Institute. In this role, she brought together many people with diverse views to discuss, collaborate and develop solutions to local and global problems. I believe that she will be able to work with Ashland’s citizens to rebuild our community in a strong, sustainable manner.
