The PAVE TEAM

The CCLN team

Mark Melanson, Sarah Burgett and Julie Beadle-Brown. 

As Executive Director of CCLN, Mark provides oversight of the PAVE project and is the primary contact person for the Department of Developmental Services. He chairs the Stakeholder advisory group and liaises with partner organizations and CCLN membership.  His advocacy experience is key to reaching out to the community about the project and ensuring the right people are kept up to date about what is going on.

Sarah Burgett is the Chief Operating Officer and oversees all things… well, operational – budget and finances, human resources and sub-contracts, and other things as the need arises.

Sarah also brings substantial developmental disability and service expertise from her previous role at Toolworks and will be leading some of the external consultation elements that will be part of the project.

Julie Beadle-Brown is the PAVE project manager. Julie moved from the UK to California in 2022 to take up this role and has been on a steep learning curve about all things Californian ever since! Julie is responsible for leading the main activities of the PAVE project – the development of the measures, the training, the software content and she coordinates with other members of the team to ensure the work is carried out. She liaises with the Stakeholder advisory group and prepares the materials for those meetings.

Members of the CCLN Board of Directors also support the work of the PAVE project through regular meetings to update and discuss the project and often bring their experience to the table to help the team make important decisions.



Subject matter expert, Laura Brackin  

Our subject matter expert, Laura Brackin, of Brackin & Associates, provides guidance and support to the project manager on all aspects of the project in particular, she helps Julie to understand how the systems work in the USA and provides expertise on the HCBS Final Settings Rule and Compliance.  She is supporting the development of materials related to person-centered thinking, planning and practice and workforce development.
