A Life Membership Webinar will bw held today, Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 5:00 PM PST, and honestly, whether you’re thinking about Life Membership for the first time, already a Life Member considering an upgrade, or just curious about what’s changing in 2026—this webinar is for you.
Starting January 6, 2026, our Life Membership program is getting a complete modernization. We are talking fully electronic processing (no more paperwork!), enhanced buy-back options with no 4-year limit, permanent membership cards, and new payment partnerships with PBS Federal Credit Union. Plus, we’ve upgraded benefits across all three tiers—Gold, Sapphire, and Platinum—with new pricing, enhanced conference discounts, and charitable giving components through the Dr. George L. Hightower Life Membership Fund.
Remember effective December 15, 2025, at 8:59 PM PST, Life Membership will be temporarily closed through January 5, 2026. During this time no Life Member applications, upgrades, and buy back will be accepted. So, if you’ve been on the fence about locking in current pricing or want to understand all your options before the new system launches, this webinar will give you everything you need to know.
During the session, we’ll break down:
- The new fully electronic process and what it means for you.
- Enhanced buy-back program details.
- Updated pricing and benefits for each tier.
- How current subscribing Life Members are affected (spoiler: you’re grandfathered in).
- Payment options including micro loans through PBS Federal Credit Union.
- Live Q&A to get your specific questions answered.
Whether you’re looking to secure your legacy in the Brotherhood, upgrade to unlock new benefits, or simply learn about the investment in your Sigma future, this is your chance to get all the details directly from the source.
