Each year, Caldwell University selects honorary members, who exhibit excellence in business and maintain strong ties to Caldwell University’s Business programs, to be inducted into the honor society. The Division of Business was proud to induct two distinguished alumni, Anne Poltorak and Robert Melchionne.

In her 28 years at Tilcon, Anne Poltorak faced many challenges and has risen to the occasion each time. Anne began her career as a Personnel Assistant for Millington Affiliated, working her way up to Human Resources Administrator to her current position as Human Resource Manager, a position she has held proudly since 1999. Her role as HR Manager encompasses but is not limited to balancing the need of the employees managing, training, recruiting, mediation, union labor negotiations, policy developments, benefits, internships, and performance management. Additionally, Anne takes an active role outside of Tilcon, volunteering her time and talent at her local church, mentors an Eagle Scout, and being an active volunteer for Mane Stream’s “Adaptive Horsemanship Program” for riders with disabilities; there she can channel her equestrian talents into helping others to appreciate horses and riding. She is also a certified fitness instructor.

Robert Melchionne is a Vice President and commercial relationship manager for the Middle Market Lending Group of Provident Bank specializing in commercial & industrial loans to businesses in the manufacturing, fabrication, wholesale, transportation, and other professional industries. In a banking career of nearly 20 years, Robert has experience in providing commercial credit facilities to borrowers with needs such as short-term and long-term working capital, term debt financing for fixed asset expansion, business acquisition, commercial mortgages for real property, and international trade finance services for import and export companies. In addition to managing a portfolio of bank clients, Robert is responsible for actively seeking privately held, middle market companies, or those with annual revenues of $15MM to $200MM in central and northern New Jersey. His efforts help to grow Provident Bank’s existing portfolio with new commercial relationships. Prior to joining The Provident Bank, he was a commercial relationship manager for M&T Bank Sovereign Bank, and Spencer Savings Bank.

The purposes of Delta Mu Delta are to promote higher scholarship in training for business and to recognize and reward scholastic attainment in business subjects. Delta Mu Delta membership provides recognition for a lifetime. It is the highest national recognition a business student can earn.
