NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Nov. 22, 2019) – Melissa Scogin, an administrative support assistant in the Contracting Branch, is the Nashville District Employee of the Month for October 2019.
Scogin is recognized for her significant contributions to the Contracting Division by going above and beyond her normal responsibilities, managing additional work, and advising on critical year-end contracting actions.
She manages the office and a variety of administrative duties for the Contracting Branch that include: scheduling, preparing meeting minutes, maintaining records and electronic paperwork.
Scogin said she knows there are many people throughout district that work hard, care about their work, take pride in their job and equally deserve to be honored and recognized. Nonetheless, she said that she is happy to be recognized and attributes her success to the whole team in the Contracting Division.
“I absolutely enjoy my job, the group of people I work with and support, and I am extremely honored to have been selected for this award by my colleagues,” said Scogin.
J. W. Purcell, Nashville District Branch Contracting Officer, said Scogin is very deserving of her award because she is the administrative go-to person in the contracting office and a major factor that the team was successful in this year’s fiscal closeout.
“Melissa is an excellent team player that provides individualized and personalized service to each member of the contracting team daily,” said Purcell. “We are appreciative for her contributions and being a valued member of our team.
According to Purcell, each fiscal year in late September and early October, the new fiscal year begins and the process is demanding. It’s busy with time corrections, labor cross transfers, and finding labor money on codes and she shouldered a significant workload and handled the transition with ease.

She always encourages the team by her work ethic and possesses a wealth of administration knowledge and functions that she exercises on a daily basis to continually improve our processes.”
