Benefits to an organization of awarding life memberships?

Is this a non- or for-profit organization?  For non-profit organizations, life memberships provide the basis for a  community in which members are vested in the long-term health of the organization.  Life members will often be interested in volunteering or serving on the board, etc., as a way of insuring what they see as something that they almost "own."

Partner with an expert in other fields.  I have arrangements with P&C agents, annuity agents, etc.. where I strictly handle the life insurance for their clients and refer my life clients to them for P&C.\n\nWe do splits on cases. It has been tremdous revenue boost for all parties.

I graduated with honors and had never even heard of this before... I decided to look around a little online and found their site. It appears legit. \nHOWEVER -- it has been the source of a great deal of debate because people often do not understand why they tell you that you must pay a fee. This really is not any different than the majority of other college level honor societies. Most require members to pay a "lifetime membership fee". Not all do, but many do. The NSCS does belong to the Association of College Honor Societies, which is an offical organization. If you don't want to pay the $75 though, you could always frame the letter of invitation or put it in a scrapbook.

Most life insurance can benefit a third party as long as the third party has "insurable interest".  For example.  business partners will often use life insurance to protect each other from the risk associated losing a partner.    The key is that the third party has risks to protect and would be financially harmed due to the loss of the insured.  It is up the individuals involved to prove insurable interest to the insurance company. \n\nTerm insurance works well. You can choose the length of time you want coverage.  The costs are typically lower with term life.  \n\nUniversal Life or whole life will typically be more in cost.  But, generally will not expire like term life.  Also,  they have cash value that can be returned to the owner in the future when the insurance is no longer needed.

Well, it doesn't exactly work that way.  The life policies commonly sold to babies, that you pay on for their whole life, are called Whole Life policies.  They are usually a BAD buy.  It usually pays out $2,000 towards funeral benefits, and when they turn 18, you can increase the policy to $25,000 or so (with an increase in cost) without having to prove insurability. \n\nIt was a good deal for my brother, a type 1 diabetic, because that was the only way he'd get coverage except through an employer.  For the most part, however, it's a rotten deal.\n\nFor less than that, maybe $100 a year (2/3 the price) you can buy a 20 year term life insurance policy that will pay $100,000 upon death, you can renew that for another 20 years for about $125 a year.    Just make sure the policy you get is renewable and convertible.

I would say one of there greatest benefits is that they highly promote the betterment of yourself.  Betterment through learning and knowledge.  I like that part.  Now why Hubbard decided that we are under the rule of Xenu from the planet Teegeeack dumbfounds me.  A huge drawback is that L Ron is exceedingly conceited and his teachings seem to promote that.  In his book Dianetics, early on he states "If you have trouble reading this book, don't be afraid to consult a dictionary and re-read the passage"  \n\nGood riddance L Ron and Good riddance Isaac Hayes!

Probably the best benefit of life insurance is burials are expensive, and with life insurance, when you expire (die), your family will have enough money to bury you, pay off your bills, etc. (Depending on how much of a policy you get.) You can get life insurance policies through several different companies. Most of the time employers offer it with their health insurance policies. The best policy will vary with your individual needs. If you consult an insurance agent, they can better assist you with your particular needs.

Is your cert through the Red Cross, Heart Association, or some other group?\n\nIf Red Cross, it might be OK. Pop into your nearest Red Cross chapter house and see.\n\nWe are in the midst of changing protocols anyway, so this might be a good time to renew everything one way or the other.

No personal experiences, BUT I know a friend of a friend who worked for NY Life just out of college.  This person worked for a while as an agent.  He sold a number of policies, but he didn't earn enough from the commissions to live on, so he had to quit.  Later, he found out that's how NY Life has made their big bucks.  They intentionally hire kids fresh out of college, give them little or no training, no leads, no support.  The new agent won't sell a lot of policies, but the ones that he does, revert back to the company when the new agent quits.  Thus NY Life doesn't have to pay commission on those policies ever again for the life of the policies that were sold, which would be a humungous savings for NY Life.\n\nA sleazy way to make money, if you ask me.  It's a heads up, if you're planning on working for them.  It's also a heads up if you're planning on getting insurance through them.  Personally, I wouldn't.  They don't need any more money than they already have, and to make money on the backs of young kids with a built-in design for their failure is, well, sleazy.\n\nApparently it's been a practice of theirs for years.

One good investment is to join an association like the International Virtual Assistants Association.  In addition to providing certification programs for their members, they also have a request for proposal option for potential employers.  \n\nWhen I was a member, I often got work from fellow members who had more work than they could handle.\n\nI also used to write a monthly column for their ezine, which is the second link.
