Welcome to the Colorado JCI Senate

A Senatorship in Junior Chamber International is an award given to recognize outstanding service to the Junior Chamber organization on the local, national, or international level. It provides a unique means for recognizing the outstanding achievements of members and former members and, at the same time, provides funds for the extension and expansion of Junior Chamber to more and more young people.

A Senatorship confers "Life Membership” in JCI. Member organizations are encouraged to include a self-operative provision in their constitution that a JCI Senator shall also be a life member of the respective local and national organization (LOM and NOM) The awarding of this status does not exempt the member from paying regular membership dues to JCI and the question of whether a Senator shall be liable for the payment of local and national dues is matter wholly for local policy and legislation.

Who may be awarded a Senatorship?

Senatorships for current individual members are restricted to members of at least five years standing for services rendered at any level of the organization and are subject to the written approval of the local and national presidents.

Senatorships for past members may be awarded by way of presentation subject to the written approval of the local, state (if any) and national organization presidents. Such presidents are expected to make as many inquiries with respect to the past Junior Chamber activities of the applicant as they deem appropriate.

PLEASE NOTE: Although anyone receiving a Senatorship is a lifetime member of Junior Chamber International, membership in the Senate organization is NOT automatic. To vote at Senate meetings or to hold office, the Senator must pay dues to the organization.
