Board of Directors

President

Amberly Hudson
Lithko Contracting LLC

Payroll has been my career for the past 15 years. I didn’t choose it but it certainly chose me! I am excited to be a part of the local chapter and honestly feel that the chapter gives us a real opportunity to grow in our career and network with other professionals. I have a bachelor’s degree in accounting and am the Payroll Director at Lithko Contracting, LLC. I have been a part of the local chapter since 2017 & obtained my CPP in 2018. I have strategically moved in my career to gain experience in various fields such as multi-state taxation, prevailing wage, 401K, Workers Comp, EEO-1, FLSA, union Payroll, construction payroll, manufacturing payroll, commission calculation and mergers & acquisitions. I enjoy being a mentor and sharing my experiences with my employees as well as anyone that wants to listen! I am a mother of three adult daughters and usually spend my free time in the gym or outdoors!

President Elect

Monica Brooksbank
ConstructConnect

I obtained my CPP in 2014 and would not have been able to do it without the support of the Greater Cincinnati NKY APA Chapter. I have been a member since 2012 and enjoy attending the monthly meetings and learning with my fellow payroll professionals. I have been processing payroll for 16 years with my current employer. During this time, I have been involved in company mergers, closing and opening new state, SUI and local accounts, onboarding of new hires and separations. Over the years I have participated in the many volunteer opportunities with my employer like The Boys Hope Girls Hope, The Children’s Home of Cincinnati and The Ronald McDonald House.  Prior to my payroll years, I worked as an Admin to district Manager of a local grocery store chain. During my children’s in school, I was treasurer of the PTO, Popcorn Kernel for our Cub Scout Troop and Team Mom – Meal Coordinator for High School Wrestling Team.

Secretary

Lily Hall, FPC
Lithko Contracting, LLC

I am excited about the opportunity to be up for the Social Media role. I am a newer member of the local chapter, and look forward to jumping in and getting involved with everything that it has to offer. I am a Payroll Specialist with Lithko Contracting, and have been learning from my team members the ins and outs of the payroll world. I have recently decided to take the APA’s FPC exam in the fall, and will be attending the study group classes that the GCNKY chapter provides this summer. I have also been a part of Lithko’s contributions to the program Adopt a Class this year, and have enjoyed witnessing the impact that the program has on the kids’ lives. I believe I can make a lasting positive change in regards to the social media side of the local chapter, in promoting the positive change that the GCNKY chapter has on the local payroll community. I look forward to serving this community in this position.

In the past, I volunteered for several NPW and Wage and Hour Committees, served 1 term as President Elect/ President, Secretary for 8 years, led our Adopt-A-Class program for 10 years, and let’s just say I taught CPP Study Group long enough that my class can officially drive- LOL!  My career has been a well-rounded adventure from a bank teller in Fayetteville, North Carolina while my husband Christian, was serving in the military to working for companies where I got to wear all hats in payroll, implementing new systems, payroll accounting, benefits, and HR. I have been a manager at The E.W. Scripps Company for 7 years and have enjoyed continuing to learn from my co-workers. My husband, Christian and I have two amazing children, Elijah (8), and Ellie Hope (3), that we adore.

Membership

Yvette Bennett
Rumpke

I began my career in payroll before spending over 25 years in Human Resources management. The years in HR gave me the opportunity to support employees, lead teams, yet continue to work closely with payroll. Four years ago, I returned to my roots in payroll and currently serve as a Payroll Manager, a role that combines my passion for people with my love of the payroll profession.

In the role of Membership, I am excited about helping our chapter continue to grow and thrive. I believe professional associations are invaluable resources for networking, education, mentorship, and career development. My goal is to welcome new members, increase engagement, and help build meaningful connections among payroll professionals throughout the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region.

I look forward to working alongside our chapter leadership and members to expand our reach, share knowledge, and strengthen our payroll community. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and excited to help grow the GCNK chapter while supporting the professional success of our members.
