KEYNOTE SPEAKER Mark Mayfield is one of the
most versatile speakers in America, being one of the few individuals in the world who performs stand-up comedy AND also conducts high-content key- notes and seminars. His philos- ophy is simple... say it with hu- mor, and people will take the message home. Known as "The Corporate Comedian," he makes over 100
presentations annually to a wide variety of Fortune 500 companies and trade associations and is currently seen in print advertising and television commercials. A former teacher, lobbyist and farmer, Mark has received the Certi- fied Speaking Professional designation from the National Speakers Association. It's seldom that you find a really funny, clean comedian,
and it's seldom that you find a really good captivating speaker. It is nearly impossible to find one who is both. Mark Mayfield is one of the rare individuals in the world who is equally adept at performing stand up comedy or presenting high content speeches. He excites, educates and always entertains. Mark Mayfield has shared the stage with celebrities like
Paul Newman, Peter Frampton, Colin Powell and Bob Newhart and has introduced the President of the United States on a live, nationwide television broadcast. He is the author of the popular book, Mom's Rules, a comedic yet poignant look at all those things that mom said to us as kids. This will be a great way to “kick off” our convention!
