SPJST Social Membership

SPJST Social Membership

Connect · Serve · Belong

Social membership in SPJST is an opportunity to join hands with friends and neighbors in improving your community and building your social and business network. SPJST members come from all walks of life and share in the desire to make a positive difference in the lives of their fellow members and in the communities where they live, work and play.

Whereas the purchase of an SPJST life insurance or annuity certificate entitles one to the full range of SPJST member benefits, social membership is also available to adults 18 years of age or older.
