Evan Weston possesses expertise in leadership, team building, e commerce, social media, strategic partnerships and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Evan is a person who I am grateful to know both personally and professionally. He interned with me for almost a year during which time he attended arbitration, fact finding and grievance mediation meetings. He wrote decisions for discussion and critiquing, discussed advocates’ strategy and how to evaluate arguments, data and contract language. Evan has the ability to see details, interpret contract language and organize his thoughts in a cogent and convincing manner. Evan’s ability to express himself verbally and in writing is impressive. He has the ability from years of working with employers and union officials to understand how they are motivated, think, and act, all learned from his former career advising union and company pension fund trustees. During that time, he gained a rare outsider’s understanding of the inner workings of labor relations from business and union perspectives, and from having worked occasionally with aggressive and contentious clients. Evan currently is on the labor and commercial rosters for the American Arbitration Association list of neutral arbitrators. He is a neutral chairman on the Maine Labor Relations Board’s panel of private, independent fact finders. In that role he has collected and evaluated data necessary to make recommendations for wages, pensions, insurance and other working conditions for public sector labor-management disputes with police, fire, public works and teacher unions. Evan has a commanding presence when working with any group, learned from his many years from his investments work. People generally like him and like working with him, because he knows when to listen and when to talk, a skill that is needed to labor relations neutrals. He can make hard unpopular decisions based on the evidence, and express his opinions in writing, clearly, concisely and convincingly. " and "I am honored to have this opportunity to recommend Evan.
