Cindy Crane is an Etiquette Consultant with a passion for instilling manners and social skills in young minds, as well as building etiquette confidence in adults! Raised in a graceful Southern home where respect, manners and etiquette were a way of life, Cindy understood the importance of social skills from a very young age.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education from Presbyterian College and sought the finest instruction in etiquette, leading her to the Charleston School of Protocol and Etiquette in Charleston, South Carolina, where she received her formal training and certification.

Cindy has designed engaging and interactive programs, classes, and teas that teach manners and etiquette while helping children & adults build the self-confidence to thrive socially now and into the future. Her diverse professional background includes:

Cindy is an Atlanta native, but she and her husband, Les, have settled in the beautiful mountains of Blue Ridge from years in Jefferson, Ga. She cherishes her awesome grown children and is the proud grandmother of seven, with one more on the way!  Cindy is an avid animal lover and has several beloved rescue pets.

Cindy & Les have always been deeply committed to their community. In Jefferson, Cindy was actively participating in the Jefferson Woman’s Club, Tumbling Waters Historical Society, Crawford Long Museum, American Legion Auxiliary, Main Street Jefferson, and supportive of Dirt Road Doggies Rescue and Jackson County Young Life. Now in Blue Ridge, they have jumped into starting back the Blue Ridge Rotary Club and are members of the Fannin Chamber of Commerce.
