Chief Human Resources Officer Chief Human Resources Officer The University of Maine System (UMS) seeks an experienced strategic and visionary leader to serve as its Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). The UMS CHRO will demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion with a proven record of collaboration and inclusive engagement to steward a mission-driven workforce of more than 5,000 faculty and staff throughout the state of Maine. UMS’s CHRO will be responsible for aligning HR strategy with the UMS tripartite mission of teaching, research, and public service, and will work to ensure that Human Resources serves as a trusted, expert resource for UMS’s faculty, staff, and student employees. The ideal candidate will have experience in their professional work with workforce stabilization; strategic change management; and diversity, equity, and inclusive excellence, as well as a proficiency in growing environments that foster connection and deep collaboration across the varied units of a large, state-wide public organization. The UMS CHRO will lead a Human Resources department that consists of sixty HR professionals who are hardworking and interconnected and who are geographically dispersed but centrally managed – in some cases with matrixed reporting relationships within the universities they serve as well. The CHRO will model and foster a culture of personal integrity, excellent customer service, and inclusivity both inside the department and throughout UMS. Reporting to UMS Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Chief Legal Officer Jim Thelen, the CHRO will provide critical human resources leadership and serve a System made up of seven universities and a Law School that together serve more than 30,000 students annually. More than 2,000 full-time and part-time faculty, more than 3,000 regular full-time and part-time staff, and a complement of part-time temporary (adjunct) faculty together carry out the System’s mission. Approximately 80 percent of UMS’s faculty and staff are represented by labor organizations. For this reason, a compelling candidate would have labor relations experience.

The University of Maine System (UMS) unites Maine’s distinctive public universities, comprising 10 campuses and numerous centers, in the common purpose of delivering on its traditional tripartite mission of teaching, research, and public service. Reaching more than 500,000 people annually through educational and cultural offerings, the University of Maine System also benefits from more than two-thirds of its alumni population residing within the state – more than 123,000 individuals. The System has an estimated $1.5 billion total statewide economic impact each year, a return of $7.50 for every dollar of State appropriation. The University of Maine System Chancellor’s office is located in Estabrooke Hall on the University of Maine campus in Orono. System-wide services and governance employees work from campuses across the state and HR employees work from offices on each campus.

The System also includes the University of Maine School of Law, which itself is part of the University of Maine Graduate and Professional Center, which brings graduate business and public policy programs from UM and USM together with law for cutting-edge inter-curricular graduate and professional degree and certificate opportunities. In addition, eight university college outreach centers, 31 course sites, and 34 cooperative extension locations span the state. University of Maine The University of Maine is the state’s land grant, sea grant and space grant research university. As Maine’s flagship public university, the University of Maine has a statewide mission of teaching, research and economic development, and community service.

LOCATION The University of Maine System and its flagship, the University of Maine, recognize that they are located on Marsh Island in the homeland of the Penobscot Nation, where issues of water and territorial rights, and encroachment upon sacred sites, are ongoing. Penobscot homeland is connected to the other Wabanaki Tribal Nations — the Passamaquoddy, Maliseet, and Micmac — through kinship, alliances and diplomacy. UMS and the University of Maine also recognize that the Penobscot Nation and the other Wabanaki Tribal Nations are distinct, sovereign, legal and political entities with their own powers of self-governance and self-determination. More about the Memorandum of Understanding between the Penobscot Nation and the University of Maine System can be found here. University of Maine System Chief Human Resources Officer Page 5 The University of Maine and the executive offices of the University of Maine System are located in Orono, five miles north of Bangor, the state’s third-largest city and home to Bangor International Airport. Orono, named for Chief Joseph Orono of the Penobscot Nation, was settled in 1774. Currently, the population is approximately 11,000 (not counting University of Maine students). Part of the town, including the University of Maine, is located on Marsh Island, bounded by the Penobscot and Stillwater rivers. Orono is about 1.5 hours from Acadia National Park, the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument and Mount Katahdin and Baxter State Park — the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Sugarloaf and Sunday River ski resorts are within three hours of Orono. Situated on more than 500 acres, the University of Maine’s Orono campus consists of 37 academic buildings, 30 administrative buildings, 20 residence halls, 18 research-specific facilities, 13 Greek life houses, four dining facilities, and ten sports facilities, including the nationally-ranked, 87,000-square-foot New Balance Student Recreation Center. The University of Maine’s newest buildings are LEED-certified. The centerpiece of the campus, Fogler Library, is the state’s largest library and has long been a leader in ensuring digital access and collaboration across all libraries in Maine. UNIFIED ACCREDITATION Proposed in September 2019 by University of Maine System Chancellor Dannel Malloy and approved by the Board of Trustees in January 2020, UMS is in the early stages

  • Verona Island, Maine Comprehensive Plan 2006
    VERONA ISLAND, MAINE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2006 Prepared by the Verona Island Comprehensive Plan Committee VERONA ISLAND - MAINE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2006 Verona Island shall encourage both orderly residential and business growth and development while protecting the town’s rural character, preventing sprawl, protecting the quantity and quality of the town’s water resources and encouraging the preservation of large tracts of land for other locally appropriate and sustainable uses. Prepared by the Verona Island Comprehensive Plan Committee: Lionel Harvey Marlene Smith Linwood Bridges Paul Hansen Gary Haslam Wendy Carpenter Marilyn Baggett David Harrison Ed Petravicz Cleo Cottrell Lisa Bridges Dotty Seekins Jose Donnel Ann Ramsdell With assistance from the Hancock County Planning Commission 395 State Street Ellsworth, ME 04605 207-667-7131 207-667-2099 (fax) www.hcpcme.org INTRODUCTION The Verona Island comprehensive plan is an advisory document that reflects desired growth patterns among town residents. Overall, it identifies current issues that the town is currently facing, or expects to face in the next 5-10 years. This plan is an update of the 1978 plan and replaces that document. The plan will only become valid upon adoption by town residents at a town meeting; contents will be the legal basis for any changes to land use ordinances, which must similarly be voted on at a town meeting. It is important to remember that a public hearing is required to take place before a town vote. Also, since conditions in the town are expected to change over time, the plan should be reviewed on a periodic basis and updated accordingly.

  • Katahdin Iron Works and Its Effect on the Water Quality of the West Branch of the Pleasant River
    Katahdin Iron Works and its Effect On the Water Quality of the West Branch of the Pleasant River Katahdin Iron Works Township (T6 R9 NWP) Piscataquis County, Maine, USA By Mark Whiting Maine Department of Environmental Protection Bangor Regional Office 106 Hogan Road, Suite 6 Bangor, Maine 04401 Ore Excavation Pit, Ore Mountain, Photo by Mark Whiting June 14, 2010 DEPLW-1172 I. Introduction and Background Information: The Pleasant River is a tributary to the Maine’s largest river, the Penobscot. The Penobscot River watershed has the vast majority of the federally-listed endangered Atlantic salmon in Maine, accounting for 95% of the adult returns. Furthermore, this watershed is likely to play an increasingly important role in the conservation of Maine Atlantic salmon. In 2004, an agreement was signed to restore 11 sea-run fish species on the Penobscot River, while at the same time preserving hydroelectric power capacity. The non-profit Penobscot River Restoration Trust was created to raise money and coordinate the activities of the restoration partners. These include the Penobscot Indian Nation, six environmental groups, the hydropower dam owner, and State and Federal agencies. The project involves the removal of the two lower dams on the river, Veazie and Great Works. The Milford dam will have improved fish passage and the Howland dam will be decommissioned and by-passed by a natural-looking river channel. To find out more about the restoration program visit the Penobscot River Restoration Trust website (http://www.penobscotriver.org/). The Piscataquis River is one of the major western tributaries to the Penobscot.

  • A WABANAKI CASE Alvin H. Morrison State University of New York At
    179 THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW VERSUS THE STORM SPIRIT: A WABANAKI CASE Alvin H. Morrison State University of New York at Fredonia INTRODUCTION The intent of the Native American Religious Freedom Act (Pub­ lic Law 95-341) is that Whites should accept as valid whatever In­ dian practitioners claim to be their traditional religious beliefs; the opinions of non-practitioners are deemed non-valid. However, when evidence exists that makes Indian claims questionable, what is to be accepted as valid? Such a thesis/antithesis situation arises in the Wa­ banaki claims regarding the native religious use of Maine's highest peak, Mt. Katahdin, versus qualifying, if not contrary, folklore, ethnohistory, and other data obtained by Whites. While a conclusive synthesis may be impossible at this time in this case, it stands as an example of a major problem in implementing PL 95-341. This paper1 attempts no definite answers to the questions of Wa­ banaki religion that are its chief concern. Indeed, the true answers may never be found, as is so often the case in ethnohistorical matters. However, a tentative conclusion is offered that supports the real pur­ pose of the paper, which is to exemplify a major difficulty in imple­ menting the clear intent of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act. Our title, "The Spirit of the Law versus the Storm Spirit", suc­ cinctly points out the basic elements in a problem of conflicting evi­ dence as to what were the traditional Wabanaki religious beliefs and practices pertaining to Maine's highest mountain. Section 2 of this PL 95-342 dated 11 August, 1978 reads, in part: The President shall direct the various Federal departments, agencies, and other instrumentalities responsible for administering relevant laws to evaluate their policies and procedures in consultation with native traditional religious leaders in order to determine appropriate changes necessary to protect and pre­ serve Native American religious cultural rights and practices.

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this work is to give the reader a feeling for the events and people who are part of the one-hundred-year history of East Millinocket. It is not a complete history of the town. It does not attempt to include a complete listing of all of the hard-working people who built the community, held public offices, served on committees, taught in its schools, served its churches, played in its streets and worked at Great Northern Paper Company because that would be an impossible job. Many important contributors, unknown to the author and not listed in town records, must be paid silent recognition for making East Millinocket a decent community. We thank them all.
