The Meemic Story
It Started with Teachers
In 1950, a small group of teachers formed Meemic to provide their colleagues with the quality insurance protection they needed at rates they could afford. Nearly 75 years later, we’re committed to providing auto, home, boat and personal umbrella insurance coverage tailored exclusively to members of the educational community.
What Makes Us Unique?
Meemic really is different. Our company was founded by teachers, giving us deep roots in the educational community. Our members receive special treatment and quality insurance services. We don’t just appreciate your business, we appreciate your calling and dedication as an educator, too. You’ll notice in the way you’re treated — as a colleague, friend and family member. We look at every interaction with you as an opportunity to help one of our own.
We Help Schools & Educators Prepare for Tomorrow
Our roots in the educational community run deep and we’re committed to helping them grow and flourish. The Meemic Foundation for the Future of Education was established in 1992 to provide financial assistance in the form of grants to schools, teachers and educators. To learn more or apply for a grant, contact your local Meemic agent or visit MeemicFoundation.com.
We Get High Marks
Our members consistently rate us at the top of the industry for customer satisfaction for claims service, earning us one of the highest overall satisfaction scores among many of the nation’s leading companies.

As an insurance provider exclusively for teachers and educators, we’re dedicated to exceeding the expectations of our members and delivering superior value at an affordable price and at every opportunity. Requirements for membership are simple. If you’re a teacher or educator or on the staff at a public, charter, private or parochial school or at a college or university, you can qualify for the exclusive insurance discounts Meemic offers.
What Does Meemic Stand For?
Did you know that Meemic isn’t just a made up name? It actually started as an acronym, and its roots go all the way back to when we were first founded in 1950 in Detroit, Michigan. Back then, our founders, who were also educators, came together to create a company that would offer high-quality, affordable insurance exclusively to their fellow teachers in Michigan, a tradition that still stands today.
That’s why M.E.E.M.I.C. originally stood for Michigan Educational Employees Mutual Insurance Company. A lot has changed in nearly 75 years. Today, we serve more than just teachers and offer additional insurance products — including auto, home, boat and umbrella coverage. So, the company that started out as M.E.E.M.I.C., or the Michigan Educational Employees Mutual Insurance Company, is now simply known as Meemic.
But the one thing that hasn’t changed, and never will, is that Meemic still stands for and stands with our fellow educators in every community we serve.

Retired Teachers
At Meemic, we truly believe there is no calling more noble or more important than that of the educational community. Whether you’ve been teaching for just a few years or an entire lifetime, being an educator is in your blood. That’s something that doesn’t go away when you retire — and neither does your opportunity to become part of the Meemic family.
Bus Drivers
Without bus drivers there would be a lot of empty classrooms. In addition to getting kids safely to school on time, bus drivers stay in tune with their students. Many bus drivers are trained to respond to distress and have become critical observers during fragile stages in the lives of their passengers. That’s why Meemic places a high value on the health and well-being of bus drivers across the country. See how Meemic makes auto insurance for school bus drivers easy when they’re off the clock.
