2026 APSE Missouri Employment Summit

Innovate- Empower- Employed

July 23rd & July 24th 

Courtyard by Marriott, Columbia Missouri 

Opening Keynote Speaker- Grace Key

Grace is 28 years old and co-founder of Candidly Kind. Grace and her mother, Carrie Key started Candidly Kind in March 2018 when Grace had the desire to start her own fashion line using her art and "catch phrases". 
Grace is the designer, painter, order entry tech, label maker, packer, wrapper, shipper and letter writer (she writes to every customer). She has the help of her family but she does a bit of everything and that's how she likes it! Candidly Kind also gives a percentage of every sale to charities who share the Candidly Kind vision to spread light, love and happiness. 

Grace will kick off the Summit by sharing her insight regarding starting her own business, her creative process and "what makes her tick".
