SUBJECT:  
Guidelines for JCI Senatorship Award and Processing Fee
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A JCI Senatorship is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a member or past member of our organization, and confers “lifetime membership” in Junior chamber International (JCI).  It is a unique way to pay tribute to an individual for his/her dedication and outstanding service on a local, national or international level. However, we noticed that the proper protocol in applying said award is not being followed. In our communications with JCI, we have learned that there are those who filed their application form directly to them without passing our National Secretariat or the National Senate Affairs Chairman for appropriate screening and validation.    

In this light, may we therefore give you the qualifications on how to become a JCI Senator as required.. This prestigious award is conferred to exemplar-JCI Members who have complied with the following basic minimum requirements as stipulated in our Policy Manual (Pol. 3.6 Sec. 4). as follows; 

a)       The nominee must have been a member in good standing for at least three (3) consecutive years. In case of a nominee who is a past member, he need not be a member in good standing at the time he is being considered for the award; 

b)       He must have attended an International Junior Chamber Conference (Multi-Nation or World Congress) and two (2) National Conventions. However, the JCI Senate Group, in very meritorious cases, may dispense with the requirements of attending an International Junior Chamber Conference if, in their findings, the nominee does not have the financial means. In this event, the nominee should have attended at least five (5) Regular National Conventions; 

c)       He must have either been a National Chairman, Director of the chapter, or Chairman of a successful and outstanding project that advanced the purposes of the movement; 

d)       The nomination form shall be filled up by the nominator who must be a JCI Senator, or chapter officer or director and certified by the Chapter Secretary; 

e)       He must have been a recipient of a Chapter or Annual Presidential Award or any JCP or JCI Award; and, 

f)        All the above must be complied with as minimum requirements before any member of the chapter may be considered for Senatorship as recognition for very outstanding services to the Junior Chamber movement. 

Basing on the above mentioned guidelines, the National Screening Committee headed by the Imm. Past National President shall consider the following pre-screening qualifications; 

1.        That the awardee / applicant for senatorship must be from a LOM/chapter in good standing of the JCI Philippines

2.        Must be an active member in good standing for three (3) consecutive years.

3.        Must be an elected LOM Board of Director / President.

4.        A LOM Board Resolution endorsing his award/application for senatorship stating his achievements and accomplishments in the chapter or other valuable contributions to the LOM program and activities and the application should be duly signed by the concerned NVP/NEVP.

5.        At least attended 5 Area Conferences and/or National Conventions or three (3) JCI ASPAC or World Congresses. 

Having complied with the above-mentioned minimum requirements the nominee shall further be graded on his overall performance according to the point system as stipulated in our JCIP Policy Manual and JCI e.g.  

A copy of the said application should be forwarded to the Office of the NSG for final verification after which the National President signs the same before it will be forwarded to JCI copy furnished Philippine Jaycee Senate Office. Kindly take note per arrangement with JCI they will not entertain applications filed directly to them.  

In view thereof upon validation of the application, a mailing / processing fee in the amount of  P400.00 payable to JCIP shall be charged and none payment of said fee means the application will not also be entertained. This is aside the Senatorship fee in the amount of US $300 payable to JCI thru credit card or demand draft by the applicant. The National Secretariat shall then be responsible in distributing the JCI Senatorship to the LOM or the JCI Senator concerned to be handed by a National Officer, in an appropriate occasion. 

For your appropriate information and guidance!  Thank you.

JCI Sen. Fulbert C. Woo
