SENATOR APPLICATION GUIDELINES
2009
(2009 Senator Application - revised 1-5-2009)

Dear Fellow Jaycees;

     The following information is provided for the preparation of Senatorship Applications. These guidelines will be
used by the California Jaycee President when evaluating candidates for the honor of receiving a Senatorship.

1. All applications must be signed by the local Chapter President. 

2. The applicant must have a minimum of (5) five years as a Jaycee and must have been a
                past local President, State Director, or State Chairperson. 

3. A letter should be provided by the local chapter indicating why the applicant is deserving of a   
                Senatorship and include an outline which describes the applicants accomplishments.

4. The application should be accompanied by at least two (2) letters of recommendation from JCI
    Senators from the applicants local (preferred) or district.

5. All fees must be paid by check from the chapter or money order submitting the application.
    Separate checks are to be submitted as follows:

a. $300.00 ‑ Payable to: Junior Chamber International

b. $ 75.00 ‑ Payable to: U.S. Jaycees

c. Check in the appropriate amount according to the attached option list on California         
                JCI Senate Application:   Payable to JCI Senators of California

6. Keep in mind that a JCI Senatorship is the highest honor/award that can be bestowed upon a  
   Jaycee. Choice of an applicant should be for service to the organization over and far above the
   routine participation in Jaycees projects and holding of offices. 

     All of the necessary documentation and checks must be sent to the current California JCI Senate President
or his designee. The California JCI Senate President is appointed by the California Jaycee President,
to insure completeness of the documentation and checks. The California JCI Senate President presents
the completed applications to the California State Jaycee President who will evaluate the candidate, give his/her
approval and return the application to the California JCI Senate President to forward to the U.S. Jaycees.
Approximately 4 – 6 weeks are required for the paperwork to be completed through Junior Chamber International.

     The JCI Certificate, Senate Pin, and Membership Card with its unique number will be mailed to the California
JCI Senate Administrator or chapter designee.  The California JCI Senate will provide the new Senators
name badge, California Senate Pin, California Senate Membership card, and California Senate Membership
Certificate.  The time to process a JCI Senatorship is approximately SIX (6) weeks. Please take this into
consideration when selecting a presentation date. 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Sincerely, in the JCI Spirit,

Wendy Bell
JCI  #45198
Past President 2000 - 01
