Maryanne Dersch

strategist and superfan

Maryanne Dersch received her bachelor of journalism degree from Mizzou so long ago it makes her head hurt to think about it. She’s spent more than 14 years working in the nonprofit community relations biz and is thrilled to be at 501, where she can put all her nonprofit experience to use helping clients reach their goals.


Maryanne and her husband of 18 years, Jon Schmuke, adopted their two sons, Patrick and AJ, out of foster care. They recently welcomed a daughter, Taylor, into the family. She is president of the PTO at Patrick’s school, Dewey International Studies Elementary. She is an avid Rams fan, and throws a great tailgate party. She loves singing karaoke and having cocktails on her deck at her big new house in the Shaw neighborhood.
