Congratulations to the 2024 Pantex Administrative Assistant of the Year
Shawna Clem won the 2024 Pantex Administrative Professional of the Year Award
Every year, Pantex celebrates its administrative assistants by recognizing their achievements and contributions. Recently, one distinct administrative assistant was chosen from 100+ other nominations at the plant and has been honored as the 2024 Pantex Administrative Assistant of the Year. This year, Pantex is proud to announce that Shawna Clem, senior clerk, was chosen as the 2024 Administrative Assistant of the Year!
Clem’s supervisor, Alvin Gomez, nominated her and said, “Our department, which normally has three clerks, has been down to one: Shawna. Besides always being dependable, reliable, steady, and trustworthy, Shawna never complains––she just shows up and not only gets the work done but does so with a positive, can-do attitude every single day.”
Gomez continued, “On the challenging days, she always goes above and beyond to make sure what needs to be done is carried out in a timely and efficient manner. She truly is the ‘X’ factor.”
“I’ve always been tasked with several different assignments workwise, but my greatest one so far was when I served on the Pantex Investment Committee,” said Clem, noting how beneficial her experience on the committee was in seeing how Pantex serves the community. “Being able to serve the communities around the Panhandle and help some of the major nonprofit organizations for the surrounding communities was very beneficial as a person.”
Clem was presented with the official plaque during the Monthly Manager Meeting, where she was recognized and celebrated for her outstanding achievement.
“I would like to say ‘thank you’ to Alvin [Gomez] for always supporting me and our team,” Clem said. “Just being nominated meant a lot, but being selected honestly means everything to me.”
Pantex is appreciative for employees like Clem who demonstrate passion and hard work at their job duties every day.
“I’ve been at the plant over 2 decades and worked with so many amazing people,” stated Gomez. “Shawna stands out as one of the best…I’m thankful for her and all she does for our department; our success wouldn’t happen without her.”
