# Women’s History Month Spotlight: Twana Chapman

DLA Energy Public Affairs

*Editor’s note: Every year March is designated as Women’s History Month by presidential proclamation. In honor of this tradition, Defense Logistics Agency Energy is recognizing some of its top-notch female employees who are making a difference as champions of Warfighter support.*

**My name is:**Twana Chapman

**I am:**An Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 serving on active duty as the military quality liaison officer for DLA Energy Quality Technical Support Directorate at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. I am a native of Talladega, Alabama. I enlisted into the U.S. Army in February 2000 as a petroleum supply specialist. I commissioned into the Army Warrant Officer Corps as a petroleum systems technician in August 2007. 

**Describe your job in a sentence:**As the DLA senior military quality liaison officer, I spearhead the consolidation and preparation of Post Award Requests and task orders for the optimization and sustainment of commercial laboratory services, equipment purchase, products and services worldwide. 

**How long have you worked at DLA?**Eight months with DLA Energy, although my career with DLA began in July 2018.

**What is your favorite thing about working for DLA?**I enjoy DLA’s strategic thinking, strong partnerships and the agency’s forward-focused analysis decision making processes for the Warfighter. DLA’s diverse joint environment is comprised of an extensive number of subject matter experts that I enjoy working with daily. I embrace the agency’s sense of urgency to meet the Warfighter supply chain requirements across all logistical spectrums.

**What are your best memories of working here?**I will always uphold DLAs standards and emulate their method of approach as I move forward in my career as a logistician and senior advisor. The DLA strategic “One Team, One Fight” concept and high operational tempo focus on global readiness are my best memories of working at DLA. In addition, I value DLA’s Family Day as a great venue for families to see our day-to-day business environment.

**How do you make a difference?**By focusing and understanding multiplicity concepts of the leader’s mission, vision and goals. I am transparent, flexible and understand the onset of unanticipated mission requirements to support leadership, team members and ultimately the Warfighter. 

**How do you resolve conflict in the workplace and at home?**Staying mission focused is my primary goal as a team player while focusing on the Warfighter, DLA goals and fostering our strategic partnerships. In the face of conflict, I embrace it immediately by addressing the situation for a definitive resolution, even if it is uncomfortable. Finally, I stay focused spiritually with my family, keeping a great work-life balance by including them in all aspects of my life.
