About Mrs. Mary Louise Starkey
Mrs. Mary Louise Starkey – Founder of Starkey International Institute for Household Management
Mary Louise Starkey, the “First Lady of Service” and the founder and visionary of the Starkey International Institute for Household Management, coined the term “Household Manager” in 1981, and with it, she launched a movement.
She then set about to create a Private Service profession by opening the world’s first modern-day educational Institute for Household and Estate Managers, Butlers, Personal Assistants, and Private Chefs. Mrs. Starkey began writing about the profession, and eventually developed Starkey’s patented “Starkey Service Management System,” the world’s first advanced management tool for Private Service. She has continued to set the standard for Private Service in education and in Private Service placement for nearly 41 years.
Today, she has 18 patents, copyrights, trademarks and publications. The United States military deemed Mrs. Starkey the “First Lady of Service” due to her years supporting and educating Enlisted Aides, the soldiers who serve the White House, Admirals and Generals. Her clientele includes Old Guard families, legacy families, CEOs, tech entrepreneurs, entertainment personalities and diplomatic leaders across the country and abroad.
Mrs. Mary Starkey is passionately devoted to changing the outdated paradigm of “servitude” into “Service as an Expertise,” and building a profession that is world-recognized. In 2007, Starkey was featured in journalist Robert Frank’s best-seller Richistan, and once again in his 2011 book The High Beta Rich. In recent years, she has been regularly featured in many media outlets, including The Today Show, Good Morning America, BBC, Town and Country, Forbes, Vanity Fair, Costco and the London Times.
Mrs. Starkey serves the high-net-worth and their family offices throughout the U.S., Europe, Canada, China, Anguilla and India through private training, education for employers, public media for openings, staffing of certified Graduates and other education. A dynamic and passionate public speaker and natural storyteller, Mrs. Starkey continues her vision for the art form of Service by appearing at international conventions, both here and abroad, at seminars, corporate events and hospitality forums around the globe.

Alternative financing available for your education
This new economy has created many new challenges for all people – businesses, working people, and students alike. Many of the traditional lending sources have limited access to funding once easily obtained. Sallie Mae Financial, a traditional education lending source, cut 3,000 Private Career Schools from their programs in the Spring 2009. The majority of which were in good standing but had a smaller population than the larger state or community colleges.
Starkey International Institute has taken the lead and has been seeking alternate sources of financing for students desiring to attend one of our premier courses in Certified Household Management. Keep in mind that home equity loans, personal lines of credit and your stock portfolio are still excellent cash resources already at your disposal. (more…)
