Background

Kathryn “Kathy” F. Hubbard is a partner at E&A Companies, a venture capital firm, and a philanthropist.¹ She is married to Allan B. Hubbard, Allan E&A Industries co-founder and current chair and partner of E&A Companies. Kathy Hubbard is co-founder of Bridges of Understanding, a nonprofit “dedicated to fostering better understanding between the United States and the Arab world,” and a trustee of the American Federation for Children as well as DePauw University, where she founded the Kathryn Fortune Hubbard Center for Student Engagement.²

Hubbard is also founder of The Policy Circle, “a national nonpartisan organization that provides opportunities for women to be educated on public policy issues in their states and encourages them to become more active in their communities.” While the 501(c)(3) nonprofit group claims to be nonpartisan, its core principles are focused on promoting a free market economy. The Policy Circle is a member of the State Policy Network (SPN), a group Sourcewatch describes as a “web of state pressure groups that drive a right-wing agenda in statehouses nationwide.”³

Both Kathy and her husband have a history of working under George W. Bush. In 2009, Kathy Hubbard was appointed by President George W. Bush to the J. William Fulbright Board, while her husband served the administration as Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and director of the National Economic Council.⁴

She is also on the board of Choice Charitable Trust, “a foundation that provides scholarships for low-income students to attend private schools” and is on the board of trustees of the Kenzie Academy, a computer programming school.⁵
