For the Advancement, Research, & Visibility of Etiquette Education

A Growing Need in the Modern Era
The American Etiquette Society is in pre‑formation and assembling the founding board that will shape a national organization dedicated to etiquette education as a public benefit.
Etiquette is more than manners — it’s the foundation of trust, cooperation, and social wellbeing in a healthy society. Our mission is to bring visibility, relevance, funding, advocacy, and research to etiquette education in the United States.
If you believe etiquette deserves a non-profit and independent central body that can champion etiquette education and its professionals, promote partnerships on a national level, and fund programs and resources, we invite you to join us at the ground level.

A Vision for the Future
The American Etiquette Society aims to be:
-
A grant-making body to support programs and provide resources for etiquette education
-
A recognizing body that honors exemplary work in etiquette education
-
A standards body supporting ethics, and professionalism
-
A public voice advocating for etiquette’s role in society
-
A forum for the exchange of ideas and best practices
-
A sponsor for research exploring social norms, civility, and communication
We are looking to assemble a founding board to guide the organization’s legal formation, mission, and early initiatives.
