THE NATIONAL AQUARIUM | ASKRIGHT IN NAPIER
Through a rigorous tender process by Napier City Council, AskRIGHT was selected as the consultants for a new National Aquarium in Napier. If the project proceeds, AskRIGHT will help raise $40 million towards the project. The project aims "to tell the nation's story through a combination of the Māori worldview and environmental science, but also other indigenous peoples of the Pacific".

A NEW CATHEDRAL | ASKRIGHT IN CHRISTCHURCH
Early this month, it was announced that a new $85 million Catholic cathedral will be built north of Cathedral Square in Christchurch to replace the earthquake-affected Christ Church Cathedral.

AskRIGHT will continue to work with the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch to raise the funds for the project.

STRATEGY VERSUS SEAT WARMER | DR JASON KETTER
When a vacant board member position for a nonprofit organisation is filled as a result of a current board member asking a colleague or friend, it can imply that the board did not adequately reflect on the needs of the organisation in order to move forward in a financial and philanthropic direction. It is better to have an empty seat – while the board pursues the best candidate – than to have a ‘seat warmer’.
