      Speaker(s)

*Keynote Speaker*

Motivational Humorist *Kay Frances, MBA* has spread her message to 
"lighten up and stress less" in 38 states and Canada for over two 
decades. Kay offers a healthy dose of laughter that can be just what the 
doctor ordered for your well-being. With her clean and upbeat 
presentations, people laugh while they learn without straining their 
brain. In our frenzied world, we need to be reminded of the importance 
of humor in helping us lead stress-free, healthy and productive lives.

She also underlines the importance of a positive attitude, maintaining 
balance in our lives and taking care of our health. Kay is a former 
professional stand up comedian, radio personality, Director of Marketing 
for a national restaurant chain and family caregiver. She holds a degree 
in Physical Education and 3rd degree black belt in karate. Years of 
national touring have honed Kay into one of the most respected and 
requested humorists in the country. It's "Humor-With-A-Message" at its 
finest! Kay's energy and zest for life are contagious and her ability to 
relate to people of all walks of life makes her a refreshing billing 
anywhere.
