IMPORTANT Chicken Patties 8/20/2025
Hello Everyone!
In regards to the Breaded packaged Chicken Patties, a lot of them had an issue where the seams of the bag were not properly connected on the bottom and the patties could fall out.
Please be sure to be careful and inspect the bags before storing and eating. Any discolored, disformed, or unusual chicken patties should be discarded immediately.
We do apologize for any inconveniences.

Fall into Success: Change & Resilience in the Workplace
USM Professional Development Conference
September 15-19, 2025
In today’s fast-changing world, the ability to adapt, grow, and thrive is more important than ever. The USM Professional Development Conference is your opportunity to build resilience, strengthen your skills, and connect with colleagues across the system. Through engaging workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and meaningful networking opportunities, you’ll gain practical tools to navigate change and set yourself up for success—professionally and personally.
Conference Learning Tracks
This year’s conference features four dynamic learning tracks, each designed to provide actionable strategies for workplace resilience. Whatever your role, you'll find valuable insights tailored to your needs.
Track A: Creating & Sustaining Positive Workplace Culture
A thriving workplace culture is built on inclusivity, trust, and engagement—especially in times of change.

Whether navigating organizational shifts, strengthening team cohesion, or addressing workplace resistance, these sessions will equip you with practical tools to build a resilient workplace culture.
Track B: Leadership Development
Great leadership isn’t just about guiding others—it’s about growing, adapting, and leading confidently through change. This track is designed for leaders at all levels, from emerging professionals to seasoned executives, looking to sharpen their decision-making, emotional intelligence, and strategic thinking.

Whether you’re leading a project, a team, or an entire department, these sessions will help you build the skills to thrive in an evolving workplace.
Track C: High-Impact Productivity
Work smarter, not harder—especially when faced with workplace shifts and new challenges. This track will help you streamline workflows, adopt innovative digital tools, and enhance collaboration to maximize efficiency.

Whether juggling competing priorities, managing transitions, or looking to boost your effectiveness, these sessions will equip you with practical solutions to succeed in any work setting.
Track D: Work-Life Harmony
In an ever-changing world, finding balance between work and personal life is key to long-term well-being. This track focuses on managing stress, setting boundaries, and building resilience to navigate life’s transitions—such as caregiving, financial planning, or career shifts.
