Mid-America Arts Alliance Names Greg Hubbard as
Director of Finance and Technology

Kansas City, MO – Mid-America Arts Alliance announces the promotion of Gregory A. Hubbard from Finance and Grants Analyst to Director of Finance and Technology. Hubbard began working for M-AAA in October 2003; he succeeds Todd Stein, who accepted a position with the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.

“Greg’s strong background in accounting, his managerial experience, and his knowledge of grant administration make him an excellent choice for this position,” said Mary Kennedy McCabe, Executive Director of Mid-America Arts Alliance. “Over the past several months, he has proven himself to be an extremely capable and valuable asset to our organization, and I am excited to work with him in his new role.”

Hubbard’s duties include all financial and technology oversight for the entire organization. In addition, he serves as principle liaison to the M-AAA board of directors’ Finance and Audit Committees.

Hubbard was formerly the Controller and Information Technology Director of the Douglas County Housing Authority in Omaha, where he shouldered budgeting and compliance reporting responsibilities, supervision of 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. “I was comfortable with my role as Finance and Grants Analyst, but this move increases my responsibilities with the organization and puts me on a management track that I started when I worked in Omaha. I’m very happy to be able to make a larger contribution to Mid-America.”

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. Upon relocating to the Midwest, Hubbard worked a senior staff auditor for Frankel, Zacharia, et al, in Omaha, where he garnered experience preparing partnership and corporate tax returns. He and his wife, Keri, a Pediatric Resident at Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital, have two daughters, Jillian and Allyson.
