About the Salute to Design & Construction

The members of the design and construction industry are gearing up for the Annual Salute to Design and Construction. The first Salute was held in 1985 as one of twelve “Salutes” to various aspects of Springfield’s community (others included Healthcare, Military, Agriculture and Government along seven others) sponsored by the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. In 1988, the Salute Council took over the planning and implementation of the Salute to Design & Construction and it has continued to evolve over the years.

Career Days

Teams of speakers visit area schools to talk about careers in construction year-round. If you can spend time discussing your career with eager young people, contact Megan at 862-1313 or megan@springfieldcontractors.org.

Annual Chicken BBQ

Join us for the annual Chicken BBQ! The SCA partners with the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) for a fun, entertaining evening to raise money for scholarships. Don’t forget some extra cash for the annual Cornhole Tournament, raffle, and to purchase remaining chicken halves. Tickets are available online here.

The deadline for Roosters & Hen sponsors to be included on volunteer t-shirts or event cups (Rooster only) is this Friday, September 3rd!

We are looking for volunteers! If you’re interested in volunteering, please email info@springfieldcontractors.org. CSI mostly handles the check-in area, but SCA is looking for volunteers to help with parking, handing out food, cleanup, etc. Volunteering is a great way to get to know others at the event!

Generation Next Membership Competition

In an effort to boost involvement and help owners and managers get their younger employees involved in the Generation Next group, Gen Next is going to pay the 2022 SCA membership fee for the company that gets the most new members to attend Gen Next monthly meetings in 2021.

Generation Next meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month either in the evening or over lunch. Anyone that is a member of the SCA and is under 40 years old can be a member of Generation Next for no additional cost. New members will be counted at each monthly meeting, and a yearend total will determine which SCA Member Company had the most new members for the year attend.

If you have employees that are under the age of 40 and want to get involved in Generation Next or you want to know more about the group, please contact Tim Potthoff at tim.potthoff@nabholz.com or Dana Haase at dana.haase@nabholz.com anytime.
