Our Team

The citizens working on the Catalyst effort represent only themselves, not any organization or political entity they are associated with. Together, they represent a diverse range of experience, combining natives of the Valley with relative newcomers, philanthropists with grassroots leaders, and drawing on knowledge and networks at all levels of government.
