SYRACUSE — The Early Childhood Alliance (ECA) Onondaga, a coalition of community stakeholders with a shared vision for a more coordinated and strategic early childhood system, announced it has recently appointed Brandi Mee as director of family wellbeing. In her new role, Mee will develop, implement, and evaluate community-informed strategies to drive transformative change and better meet the needs of pregnant and parenting families in Onondaga County. She will also provide project-management support to Pediatrics Supporting Parents Onondaga (PSP) — a partnership with Upstate Pediatric and Adolescent Center (UPAC) and others focused on promoting early relational health and increased alignment and collaboration among families, community-based organizations, and the UPAC care team. “I am excited to join a team where I can combine my own lived experience with my love for human-centered design,” Mee said in a news release. “I look forward to fostering authentic community and stakeholder engagement and to furthering the ECA’s mission of strengthening family support systems in Onondaga County.” Mee began her career in the human-services field in the Early Intervention Unit of the New Jersey Department of Health, where she gained knowledge and insight of state-level policy, grants management, and program development. She most recently served as a senior consultant with M.S. Hall & Associates, lending her expertise as lead project manager for the implementation and maintenance of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model within federally qualified health centers (FQHC). While raising her two sons, Mee earned her associate degree in fine arts at Cayuga Community College and her bachelor’s degree in psychology with a concentration in applied-behavior analysis from SUNY Canton.
