Professional Activity and Community Involvement
In 1992 Mr. Bengtson founded the Colorado Technical Recruiters Network
(www.ctrn.org). This non-profit professional association provides
a way for professional technical recruiters to work together to
reduce their recruiting costs and improve their recruiting skills. CTRN membership is comprised
of corporate, contract, collegiate and IT recruiters working in
Colorado. CTRN currently has 4 chapters: Ft. Collins, Downtown
Denver, DTC, and Colorado Springs. In 2000 Mr. Bengtson co-founded
the Global Technical Recruiters Network (www.gtrn.org).
Over the years CTRN has donated
thirty-one thousand dollars in scholarships to worthy, financially needy students enrolled in technical programs
within Colorado. CTRN worked with many notable organizations to identify
the scholarship recipients: INROADS, National Society of Black Engineers,
National Society of Hispanic Engineers, Women in Computer Science-Denver
University, People with Disabilities-Community College of Denver,
Warren Village, and Decatur Place. Recipients reflect both the minority
and financially challenged members of Colorado who were making valiant
efforts to secure a career in the information technology field. One
of the more memorable recipients was a young woman with two very
young children whose husband was tragically killed. Trying to raise
her young family all by herself, this determined woman required some
financial assistance to reach her career objective. Because of her
talent and determination she maintained a 4.0 average and received
a CTRN scholarship every year that she attended school. When she
graduated a CTRN member company hired her.
