“HR Management has been my life-long career and one that I have been instrumental in facilitating and presenting people and employees with awards. It was a pleasant surprise for me to be on the receiving end, and I am grateful for the recognition as an honoree of SVAM Outstanding Woman in Manufacturing. Thanks to SVAM for spotlighting successful careers of women in manufacturing and my Scholle IPN team who submitted the nomination and continue to provide support.” – Melinda Roberts
