Upcoming Starkey Graduate Retreat

We are extending a warm invitation for our Starkey Weekend Retreat this October. We will be hosting a first-come, first-served intimate gathering of 20 Graduates at The Starkey Mansion. Come to connect, rejuvenate and be inspired!

It’s hard to work in this profession alone. Come to work through the challenges and celebrate the wonderful opportunities you share with your fellow Service Hearts.

Our first gathering last fall was so well-received that we want to keep serving our Graduates to grow in their professions in the safe, luxurious environment of The Starkey Mansion.

Relax with our morning yoga/meditation sessions, or book a massage with our private masseuse. We will also be offering four relevant and fun workshops designed to serve you in thriving in your roles as Household/Estate Managers.

Come prepared to share your stories, enjoy your friendships and restore the art of Private Service.

Date: Oct. 2-4, 2020
Location: The Starkey Mansion, 1350 Logan St. Denver, CO 80203

Cost: $800 (Continental breakfasts, lunches and afternoon refreshments included; dinners excluded)

Accommodation: The Starkey Mansion’s pleasant and relaxing rooms are available at an additional cost on a first-come, first-served basis. Please book a room here. We’re also happy to recommend other hotels and Airbnbs nearby.

Unrivaled for 41 Years

Considered the Harvard of Private Service Education, Starkey International Institute for Household Management is now celebrating its 40th year. Mrs. Starkey began in 1981 by coining the title Household Manager. She has worked diligently her entire career to help create a profession of service; in other words, Household Management. She brought agencies, international schools, veteran Estate Managers, Butlers, and Military Enlisted Aides together for 10 years at Restoring the Art (RTA) conferences to help grow the industry. RTA has also become Starkey’s Student Financial Assistance 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. Today, Starkey is considered a highly sophisticated Service Management education corporation teaching the art form of Private Service. We are a state-approved vocational institute. We are also a seasoned Placement Corporation, placing our new and veteran Service Graduates with a 95 percent success rate. Our Publishing Company has penned five Service Management Publications for our students and our clients. We house Starkey in a classical and registered historical mansion, built in 1901. This 13,000-square-foot, high-end private residence is where students are invited to reside while in training and where we conduct our Service Management Programs.

Restoring the Art

Restoring the Art^® is a Colorado Non-Profit 501 (c)(3). Restoring the Art^® has been guided over the years by an advisory board made up of Starkey Alumni, Household and Estate Industry Veterans, Butlers, Military Enlisted Aides, Private Chefs, Personal Assistants, Employers, Luxury Hotels, Private Service Schools, Placement Agencies, and Vendors who serve the Luxury Marketplace. In recent years, RTA has focused on Starkey Alumni with yearly gatherings to learn and grow together. We have hosted wonderful 9 course dinners and garden parties at the Mansion with all our patrons, alumni and friends. We have experienced wonderful stories about the Queen from our British guests; gained perspective from the Director of Service of the Ritz Paris; tasted special wine and spirits from the finest wineries around the world; and have been introduced to the finest of luxury products.

Today, RTA provides educational funding assistance for military students. In appreciation for Starkey Benefactor, The Satter Foundation, and Patron support, Starkey gratefully acknowledges and honors them; and for Starkey Graduates, Starkey challenges all to grow educationally to their fullest potential.
