Mary Anne Ehlert, CFP®
Partner at Simplicity Group

Mary Anne Ehlert founded Protected Tomorrows in 1990, growing the company for over three decades prior to its acquisition by Simplicity Group in 2024. Now, as a Partner at Simplicity Group, Mary Anne leads the organization in providing advocacy, education, and planning support to families with loved ones who have disabilities.

Mary Anne founded Protected Tomorrows after her family’s personal journey with special needs planning for her sister Marcia’s future revealed a lack of available resources. She has since dedicated her life to building those resources for others.

Prior to founding the company, Mary Anne spent over two decades working in corporate financial services. Today, she speaks at national conferences, hosts educational webinars, and leads virtual training programs for families and caregivers of people with special needs and disabilities.

Mary Anne has served on the boards of several disability-focused organizations, including the National Disability Institute, Special Olympics Illinois, the SEDOL Foundation and Gateway to Learning. She currently serves on the boards of the Special Olympics Illinois Foundation, Cornelia de Lange Syndrome Foundation, Integrative Touch, and the Tails for Life Advisory Board.

She is a proud mother of three stepsons, one who lives independently and shares his life experiences with his peers with disabilities. Mary Anne is dedicated to using her sister’s legacy to help as many families in the special needs community as possible.
