Member Spotlight

Collegiate Awards offers a full line of Awards and Recognition items, Promotional Products, Glass Etching, and Commercial Engraving.

Originally Collegiate Awards opened as a subsidiary of Carrollton Specialty Products Inc. in Moberly, MO. The first Collegiate Awards storefront was opened in Columbia, MO in 2004 with a second location opening in Springfield in 2012. Currently, Collegiate Awards operates two locations in Springfield and St. Louis. Over the years, the company has grown from a one-employee operation to its current 18 employees split between its two locations. The opportunity to work with our amazing customers and serve the communities and region at-large have made it great 23 years and counting.

Due to their exponential growth as company, Collegiate Awards recently moved into a brand new 12,000 sq. ft. facility in Springfield to be able to handle the increasing order volume for their current and new customers. They were also nominated in 2022 for Springfield Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year. Other recent awards and press mentions include Member of the Awards, Personalization Association and Award Associates of America. Erin Boster (President) serves on Springfield Sports Commission Board of Directors and previously served on Drury University’s Breech School of Business Advisory Board.

A little-known fact about Collegiate Awards is that they have also engraved 10’s of thousands of the Step ‘N Pull door cleats for the local startup Step ‘N Pull Inc. (Featured on Shark Tank).

SCA Membership Dues

Just a reminder, SCA recently sent out the invoices for dues this past week. If you receive your annual renewal notice electronically before then, please keep this in mind. There are often a lot of scams during the holiday season, and we have unfortunately heard of spam emails going around asking for people to pay dues or be canceled during the month of December in previous years.

When in doubt, always feel welcome to call the SCA office to verify authenticity. Emails will never come from an email address outside of the following:

  • info@springfieldcontractors.org
  • megan@springfieldcontractors.org
  • susan@springfieldcontractors.org
  • generationnextsca@gmail.com (will be generationnext@springfieldcontractors.org within the next few months)
