A Senatorship, the highest honor that can be bestowed on a member or past member of the Jaycees, and confers "lifetime membership" in Junior Chamber International (JCI). It is a unique way to pay tribute to individual members for their dedication and outstanding service on a local, national, or international level. Enjoying life membership, JCI Senators have with an enduring link to our organization and all of its members worldwide.  Member organizations are encouraged to include a provision in their constitutions stating that JCI Senators shall also be lifetime members of their respective local and national organizations. The awarding of this status does not exempt an active or senior member from paying regular membership dues to JCI, and the question of whether a Senator shall be obligated to pay local and national dues is wholly a matter for local and national consideration.
