Noreen McKee is an active board member of Unity House in Troy, and a dedicated activist for voter reform in Rensselaer County. A resident of Downtown Troy, Noreen and her husband moved to the area from Brooklyn in 2012 to be closer to their son who was already in the area. Prior to settling in the Capital Region, Noreen first worked as a social worker after college graduation at Catholic Social Services in York PA. She was involved in the Vietnamese Refugee Resettlement, and was astounded by the generosity of the community stepping up to the plate with offers of jobs, apartments, food, and more. After a few years she moved to Alaska, where she and her husband worked at a boarding school as part of the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. Noreen speaks fondly of both her early work as a social worker, and of her time in Alaska.
