The Standards of the Alliance.

The Modern Etiquette & Elegance Alliance (theMEEA) maintains a proprietary system of professional distinction. These designations are a verified seal of a practitioner’s commitment to the Business of Refinement. To ensure the integrity of our members' credentials, theMEEA holds exclusive rights to the professional post-nominals PMEEA, AMEEA, and FMEEA.

These titles are distinct from other regional or unrelated associations and are specifically categorized under the Business of Refinement in the etiquette and elegance industry. Use of these titles is strictly reserved for members in good standing with the Modern Etiquette & Elegance Alliance.
