Presenting

Patsy Acers

President of Bag Lady/Can Man Financial Seminars.

    After 25 years of marriage, Patsy found herself single and unemployed.  Three of her four daughters were still at home. The courts wouldn't include the retirement funds accumulated during her marriage as an asset. One night she awoke from sleep and realized she was going to be a Bag Lady!
   
     During the divorce proceedings she discovered that property they once owned had been transferred to other people.  Patsy was at a disadvantage because she had no idea what their assets were or where to find them. Acers was determined to do something to help others avoid the pitfalls that lead to poverty.
    
     Ms. Acers is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma.  She was president of Kappa Kappa Gamma, a member of the Student Senate, a University Cheerleader, and chosen as an Outstanding Woman on Campus.
    
She claims to be the original "Okie from Muskogee," (her birth place).
    
     Patsy has conducted over 4,500 seminars throughout the United States. When she searched to find a Educational presentation that was fun, she discovered that it didn't exist.  In 1987 she created the trademarked and copyrighted seminar called "Do You Really Want to be a Bag Lady?"
    
     She was recognized by "Blue Chip Salutes" as 1 of 3 people in the past 150 years that has changed the industry.  She is a member of the Million-Dollar Round Table, the National Speakers Association and the Oklahoma Speakers Association. Patsy was recognized as Professional of the Year in Finance and Banking by Who's Who of International Women. (1991)  Patsy Acers is listed in Who's Who of American Women, the World Who's Who of Women, American Women of Today, and Two Thousand Notable American Women.
    
     Acers was given the Gold Award by the Women Life Underwriters Confederation.  The American Biographical Institute selected her as one of the Most Admired Women of the Decade.
    
      Ms. Acers has had 19 franchises across the United States helping women put their financial affairs in order.
    
     "You realize that money isn't everything. But it ranks right up there with oxygen," Patsy reports.
