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 recruiters to work together to reduce their recruiting costs and improve their recruiting skills. CTRN membership is comprised of corporate, consulting, and search firm recruiter and HR professionals.

Over the years CTRN has donated tens of thousands 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.
