Evan J. Durst
Market Trust Director, Senior Vice President, Bank of America Private Bank

A large part of Evan Durst’s work focuses on creating trusts and estates for people who have significant means — but he knows that those who have less are just as deserving of important documents.

He asks himself, “How can I help bring [my] expertise and skills to people who wouldn’t traditionally have access to someone like me?” Durst has been a member of the board of directors for Jewish Family and Community Services of Greater Pittsburgh since 2018, was a founding board member of Fair Shake Environmental Legal Services and recently became a board member for the Hillel Jewish University Center on campus at University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.

Durst says that he aims to do everything he can to make Pittsburgh as welcoming, fair and equitable as it can be.

“I’m one tiny little corner of the city, but I want to do as much as I can to help make things better,” he says.
