Janine Dehn receives her award.
One
of our employees, Janine Dehn, was recently honored with the “Patriotic
Employer Award” for “contributing to national security and protecting
liberty and freedom by supporting employee participation in America’s
National Guard and Reserve Force.” Janine was nominated by Guard and
Reserve Specialist Christian Rivera prior to his deployment to Egypt.
Janine
hired Christian as an administrative assistant in the Office of New
Reactors (NRO) where he provided administrative support wherever needed.
During his time there, he was temporarily assigned to two different
branches to which he provided direct support. A large part of his time
was spent working on the Vogtle, Levy, and Summer licenses, as well as
AP1000 design control documents and design certification amendments. It
was up to Christian to ensure that each chapter of the safety evaluation
reports was edited and formatted properly, grammatically correct and
issued in a timely manner.
Christians’
extended period of military training in preparation for deployment
caused him to spend a great deal of time away from the office. Janine
consistently showed concern for Christian's situation and she created an
environment that facilitated both his military and NRC career.
Christian noted that set him up for success in every way imaginable, and
went above and beyond his expectations of a supervisor.
As
a result of Janine receiving the “Patriotic Employer Award,” the NRC
received the “Above and Beyond” certificate of appreciation for
“outstanding service and continued support to the national defense
effort.” This certificate is issued by the Department of Defense on
behalf of the men and women of the National Guard and Reserve forces.
The
NRC is dedicated to hiring skilled people -- and who better than our
veterans? Veterans, such as Christian, are well-trained, loyal and
dedicated to getting the job done. Their commitment to the government
has already been tested by service in the all-volunteer military.
NRC has special authority to appoint veterans if they meet one of the following:
-Veteran Employment Opportunity Act of 1998;
-Veterans Recruitment Appointment;
-30% or More Disabled Veteran; and
-Military Spouse.
Check out the “
Employment” page of the NRC web site and click on the
Feds Hire Vets icon on the right for more information. Right now about 21 percent of the NRC workforce falls into the “veteran” category.
