Ms. Tekia Govan is a project manager in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Govan has worked as a project manager for the NRC for the past 12 years. Currently, she is the lead project manager for the review of regulatory guidance for making digital instrumentation and control modifications to nuclear power plants.
As project manager, Govan planned, coordinated, and facilitated a public meeting to refocus the scope of digital instrumentation and control modification regulatory guidance to gain alignment on the path forward for the project.
She also worked with NRC experts to understand the regulatory guide endorsement process and she developed a schedule for an expedited review for a draft regulatory guide.
For the past 7 years, Govan has served as an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) counselor for NRC staff. As part of her responsibility, Govan was a counselor in the use of the agency’s informal process to resolve claims of discrimination to provide an economical advantage to the agency when cases can be resolved informally.
“I cannot say enough about her ingenuity, dedication, and professionalism in how she went about managing her position and ensuring the projects were coordinated in an effective manner,” said Chris Miller, Division of Reactor Oversight.
Ms. Govan is a nominee for a 2020 Women of Color STEM Conference Professional Achievement Award.
