Kansas City, MO – Mid-America Arts Alliance announces the appointment of Gregory A. Hubbard as Finance and Grants Analyst. Hubbard will support Todd Stein, Director of Finance and Administration, in an extensive array of financial activities, including annual audits, tax preparation, financial reporting, and grant administration.

"Greg’s strong background in nonprofit accounting, his managerial experience, and his knowledge of grant administration make him an ideal candidate,” said Mary Kennedy McCabe, Executive Director of Mid-America Arts Alliance. “As we continue to develop our programming it is absolutely crucial that we have someone in finance who understands the details of administering the state and federal grants that the arts community depends upon. Greg will help fill that vital role at Mid-America Arts Alliance. We’re very excited to have him as part of our organization.”

Hubbard was formerly employed as controller and information technology director for the Douglas County Housing Authority in Omaha, where he shouldered budgeting and compliance reporting responsibilities, supervision of an accounting staff, and management of information technology systems. Additionally, he worked for three years as an audit manager for Hayes & Associates of Omaha, specializing in nonprofit and governmental audits.

“I see this position as a natural fit,” said Hubbard. “Though I was motivated in my move to the area by my wife’s medical residency, I’m very pleased that I will be able to continue developing my finance career with such a dynamic organization.”

Hubbard will also utilize his information technology administration background by serving as the liaison between Mid-America Arts Alliance staff and information technology vendors.

Hubbard earned a BA in business administration, accounting, from St. Mary’s College of California. He began his career at Maze & Associates in Walnut Creek, California, as a senior staff auditor.
