Fraternal Benefit Seminar Qualifications

As we continue to receive questions about what counts and what does not count regarding qualification for Fraternal Benefit Seminars, we want to reiterate that councils striving for the Founder’s Award must host (or co-host) two fraternal benefit seminars (in-person or virtual) per year.  Suggested methods of promotion include council email/social media, parish email/social media, pulpit announcement, bulletin notice, and personal outreach to prospects. Please work with the general agent(s) in your jurisdiction – and encourage councils to work with their field agent – to schedule and promote fraternal benefit seminars in your jurisdiction.

Fraternal Benefits Document Form

This form (11077) is for documenting your Council's participation in the Fraternal Benefits Seminars hosted by our Agents.  It must be filled out and sent to your General Agent in order to receive Founder's Award Credit.
