An executive based in Danbury, Connecticut, David G. Bohn has served as president of Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation since 1995. Outside of his professional pursuits, David G. Bohn works in support of several charities and nonprofits, including the Children’s Educational Opportunity Foundation of Connecticut, Inc. (CEO). First launched in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in 1995, CEO works to create greater educational opportunities for elementary schoolchildren from low-income families by providing scholarships to attend private or parochial schools. Since its founding, CEO has grown steadily, and currently, there are active programs in Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven. Each scholarship provided covers one-half of the total tuition needed up to $2,100. The families of the scholarship recipients are responsible for covering the remaining balance and are the sole decision-makers as to which school their child attends. To be eligible for a CEO scholarship, students must live in one of the three participating cities, be in grades K-5, and have a qualifying family income. Currently, the CEO Foundation awards more than $750,000 in scholarships to more than 400 students each year. |
