NKADD announces the appointment of Chris Korba and Belinda Dungan to the organization’s financial department

The Northern Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD) announced the appointment of Chris Korba as its new Director of Finance and Administration and the promotion of Belinda Dungan to Manager of Accounting and Human Resources.

The changes aim to improve the finance department’s ability to provide high quality internal services as well as support our communities and stakeholders with their financial needs.

“Our finance department plays a critical role in the success of the Northern Kentucky Regional Development District,” said Tara Johnson-Noem, executive director of NKADD. “We are excited to welcome Chris and elevate Belinda to our financial team, bringing their expertise and resources to best serve our eight-county region.”

Prior to joining NKADD, Korba dedicated his professional career to helping individuals and businesses operate better, more efficiently and become more profitable. Growing up with self-employed parents, he understood the challenges and stress that can arise from the lack of financial and accounting procedures within a business.

Korba spent six years in public accounting where he provided tax and accounting services to individuals and small businesses, as well as auditing local school districts. He then spent the next eight years working in manufacturing, construction and home services.

Korba attended Northern Kentucky University and the University of Kentucky, where she earned undergraduate degrees in accounting and communications. In addition to his professional activities, he is a runner and news follower. Korba resides in Fort Mitchell with his wife and three young children.

Dungan joined the Northern Kentucky Area Development District (NKADD) in August 2023 as a senior accountant in the finance department. In May 2024, she was promoted to accounting and human resources manager.

In her new role, Dungan will be responsible for processing payroll and all human resources tasks. She brings experience in accounting, purchasing and human resources and has previously worked for the Housing Authority of Covington, Newport Aquarium, Mauer USA, The Fischer Group and Waco Oil Company. She holds an associate degree in accounting from the Kentucky College of Business.
