COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference has entered an initial one-year agreement with Jostens to serve as the league's exclusive championship jewelry provider. The partnership will introduce new jewelry and awards for RMAC championship events, offering member institutions an opportunity to proudly represent the RMAC and its brand through commemorative products.

"The RMAC has a rich tradition of competitive excellence, and we are honored to become the conference's exclusive championship jewelry provider," said Chris Poitras, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Jostens College & Pro Sports Division. "This partnership reflects a shared commitment to celebrating the moments that define athletic programs and the student-athletes who turn years of effort, teamwork and perseverance into championship achievements. We are excited to help RMAC champions tell their stories through truly custom championship jewelry that captures the pride, achievement and legacy of their success."

Jostens' dynamic, customer-centered service will add value for RMAC coaches and administrators as they work with their championship teams to design jewelry that reflects each team's journey and milestones. A highly esteemed partner of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA), Jostens received the 2025 Robert Vecchione Corporate Partner Award at the 60th Annual NACDA & Affiliates Convention in Orlando, Florida.

"The RMAC is built on competitive excellence and on student-athletes who give everything to their teams," said Danielle Harris, RMAC Commissioner. "Jostens understands that a championship ring is more than jewelry. It's a lasting symbol of the work, sacrifice and shared purpose behind a title. We're excited to partner with a company that will help our student-athletes, coaches and administrators be reminded of the RMAC brand and values well beyond their time in the league.”
