    Jim Perdue, chairman of the board of directors for Perdue Farms, will be the keynote speaker at the 2013 Poultry Processor Workshop, presenting on the topic of Sustainability: Social Responsibility/Managing Packaging Wastes.

Sponsored by the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, this year's conference will be held May 15-16, at the Embassy Suites Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Ga.
    "We are looking forward to hearing Jim provide his perspective on sustainability in the poultry industry and the efforts put forth by Perdue Farms," commented John Starkey, USPOULTRY president.
