Mary Marchun
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Since 2018, Mary and her firm The Capstone Group have led the work of the Colorado Beverage Association. A fifth-generation Colorado native, Mary grew up on the Western Slope on her family’s farm. While attending Colorado Mesa University she had the opportunity to cross the Divide and work at the State Capitol, a position which she enjoyed immensely. She was instantly hooked on public policy, became an expert in Colorado’s legislative process and getting things done under the gold dome. Mary also directed campaigns in targeted legislative districts.
As one of the founding partners of the Capstone Group, Mary brought her expertise in the legislative process together with excellent relationships across the state with many different stakeholder groups. Over the last several years Mary has been successful for her clients in winning new money for Colorado’s infrastructure system, developing new rules for scooters, finding new opportunities in the energy field, impacting change on the Colorado ballot process and protecting Colorado main street businesses as well as fortune 500 companies.
