Strategy Comes First – and it Never Stops.

Niemela Pappas & Associates (NPA) is a women-owned, full service advocacy firm that navigates California’s legislative and regulatory processes to consistently deliver results for our clients.

The well-traveled path is not always the best one. At NPA, strategy governs every activity. We don’t believe in “boilerplates,” boxes or “one-size-fits all.” Our strategies are tailored to your objectives and the ever-evolving landscape. And we will never, ever set you two steps back on your route forward.

“I took the road less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.”

– Robert Frost
