2. INTRODUCTION
• The recipient of a bachelor's in English from Hamilton College,
David Bohn began his career as an inside salesman with Redding,
CT's Preferred Utilities Manufacturing Corporation in 1987 and
has been president of the company since 1995. In addition to
overseeing finances and new product development for the
Redding, CT company, David Bohn holds membership with the
American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA).
Founded in 1888, the ABMA serves to unite and promote the
boiler industry through education and advocacy. One of the ways
it does this is through the Randy Rawson Scholarship, which is
awarded annually to support post-secondary education for high
school students who plan to pursue a career in the commercial,
industrial, or power-generating boiler equipment industry.

• Recipients of the scholarship must be related to or
sponsored by an employee of an associate member
company in good standing with the ABMA. They must
also have already earned entry into a nationally or
regionally accredited higher-learning institution or
vocational school.
Last year, the ABMA awarded 16 scholarships to students
attending institutions such as Western Kentucky
University, Murray State University, and Abilene Christian
University. Since its inception, it has funded more than
$150,000 in post-secondary education for scores of
students. Randy Rawson is a former president and CEO of
the ABMA who played an instrumental role in the creation
of the program.
