We are pleased to announce that Governor Mills recently appointed the following individuals (listed alphabetically) to the State’s Panel of Mediators:
- Patricia Dunn, Esq.
- Maria Fox, Esq.
- Donald Gerrish
- Chester G. Hillier
- James Mackie
- Joan Morin
- Bruce Smith, Esq.
- Rebekah J. Smith, Esq.
- Andrew Strongin, Esq.
The new appointees are in the process of completing the confirmation of their appointments and may be unavailable for immediate assignment but will all likely be available by mid-March. If you have a pending mediation and are interested in using a particular panel member, please contact the MLRB offices at (207) 287-2015 to confirm the availability of that individual.
We are fortunate in the appointment of a panel composed of individuals who all possess either long-term alternate dispute resolution experience and/or extensive collective bargaining knowledge. We are confident Maine’s labor-management community will find these Panel members to be a valuable resource in facilitating the resolution of labor disputes.
