December's Meeting TBD

Mary Anne Tolliver - Bio

She holds a Master's in Public Administration and has a lifetime of experience providing service to people with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities.  She began her employment with the St. Louis Arc in 1984 as a direct support provider, was promoted into management, and was the Director of Residential Services for 20 years until moving into her current position as the Director of Aging Services and Residential Navigation. Mary Anne has worked to support many individuals who have aged in place, retired, made end-of-life decisions, lost parents and friends, and experienced end-stage dementia and terminal illnesses while traversing their final journey in life. She continues to support family, friends, and care teams during these times and collaborates with medical, hospice, and government professionals.  She supports and guides older families as they plan for the future of their family members, navigate and learn new opportunities and resources, and plan for the time they will no longer be able to care for their family members.  Her vast experience has been a beacon of wisdom to lead and guide direct support staff and managers at the St. Louis Arc in providing quality support and families as they contemplate the future.
