Keynote speaker Jan Struck will leave you laughing!
The convention floor will be rocked with laughter as keynote speaker, Jan Struck takes the stage. Jan’s “Life Story” includes the blessing of three children, teaching school, working in secretarial and administrative positions, and experiencing single parenthood after divorce.

Additional “surprises”, from a loving and delightful Creator, have brought the joy of a second marriage and a combined family that totals six grown children, their spouses, eleven grandchildren, and one great-grandson. She is delighted to have been given a lifetime of bizarre experiences and an ability to see humor and irony in her journey.

Jan recently retired from her career is as a trainer/consultant in the field of healthcare technology to spend full-time on her speaking ministry. She is truly blessed to serve the Lord as a popular speaker leading Bible studies, workshops, and women’s retreats. Her involvement with the LWML has enabled her to bring the gift of laughter to numerous district and national conventions. Mostly recently, Jan was a presenter at the national LWML convention in Sioux Falls, SD, and the LWML-Canada convention in Regina, Saskatchewan.

With over 35 years of experience in teaching, motivating, and entertaining her audiences, Jan brings a fresh
approach to the journey of faith and uses her sense of humor as she shares her life with fellow travelers and leaves them laughing.
