Maureen Mahoney was recently appointed to the KU Hospital Authority Board. Mahoney works as Chief of Staff to Mayor David Alvey at the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas. Maureen has worked as a prosecutor but spent the majority of her practice centered around child welfare. She worked as General Counsel for KVC Behavioral Health, a large nonprofit organization that works with children and families and later served seven years as a Guardian ad Litem representing children in foster care in Wyandotte County. She joined Mayor Mark Holland as his Chief of Staff in April 2013 and stayed in that role for Mayor Alvey starting January 2018. She was also a director on the boards of numerous organizations including Wyandotte Mental Health Center (now Wyandot Behavioral Health.), Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Health System, MOCSA (Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault), and as a trustee at Pembroke Hill School. She currently serves as a board member of Lead Bank, Kansas City Area Development Council, Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, KCK PAL (Kansas City Kansas Police Athletic League), Donnelly College, and Arts KC. Maureen and her husband, Dan Crabtree, both grew up in KCK, love their hometown, and have chosen to continue to live and work in Wyandotte County. They are the proud parents of Colleen, a sophomore at UT in Austin.
"We are grateful for Maureen Mahoney's service to her community," said Wendy Doyle, United WE President & CEO. "The Appointments Project was created to increase gender parity on local boards, and Maureen's expertise will be a valuable addition to the KU Hospital Authority Board."
