Founding Board Members
We invite individuals who believe in the value of etiquette to become founding board members and shape the mission and activities of the American Etiquette Society.
Board members will define:
-
Organizational structure
-
Mission and values
-
Early programs and partnerships
-
Research priorities
-
Public outreach and visibility
No fundraising or financial commitments are being made at this stage. The organization will not accept money or form an incorporation until the founding board is established.
If you have experience in education, nonprofit leadership, communications, social sciences, hospitality, cultural studies, or simply a passion for etiquette, your voice is welcome.
What Will Board Members Do?
As a founding board member, you will:
-
Participate in early planning meetings
-
Shape the organization’s identity and long‑term goals
-
Help establish bylaws and governance
-
Contribute ideas for programs, research, and public engagement
-
Become part of a national movement to increase the public's awareness and understanding of etiquette
If you’d like to learn more or explore joining the founding board, please reach out. We’d love to hear your perspective, your background, and what excites you about the future of etiquette.

Etiquette is about connection and cooperation.
The American Etiquette Society takes shape because etiquette deserves a place in our national conversation, our classrooms, and our communities.
