About us
Catalyst Public Policy Advisors is a single-member Oregon Limited Liability Company headquartered in John Day, Oregon. The firm was founded in June 2022 by Nick Green, a former city manager and veteran policy advocate who recognized small cities are frequently at a disadvantage in policymaking as well as state and federal investment. Catalyst was founded to reverse these trends by making small cities more economically competitive. We accomplish this by providing practical solutions to complex problems, helping our clients build capital investment portfolios for their projects, and providing outside-the-box policy analysis for their toughest challenges. We benchmark our success by our clients’ success. Our goal is to bring home the wins for our clients.
