As CEO of A.L. Huber General Contractor, August (Augie) L. Huber III is responsible for executive management of the firm and oversees numerous construction projects in the Kansas City area. The company was established in 1903 and the Huber Family has consistently provided strong support to many Kansas City treasures, including the National World War I Museum and Memorial.
Augie grew up in Kansas City and remembers riding his bicycle to the Liberty Memorial as a boy and exploring the underground spaces where the Museum galleries now stand. He is a long-time member of the Historic Kansas City Foundation, and, as such, was actively involved in the planning for the renovation of the Memorial and the design of the expanded Museum in the 1990s and 2000s.
As a member of the Museum’s Call to Duty Campaign Cabinet, Augie continues to take a leading role in fundraising and both he and his company have made substantial monetary contributions to the Museum and Memorial’s capital campaign. An avid art collector, Augie also has personally donated World War I era posters and flags to the Museum’s collection.
