The Summer Review | Arotake Raumati 2025
Kia ora koutou,
As 2025 winds down, we’d like to thank everyone who has taken part in Aspen NZ’s work this year - our participants, partners, supporters, directors, and the wider Aspen community.
In a year of accelerating pace and sharper trade-offs, your engagement helped create rare space for careful thinking and constructive dialogue across differences — on issues that matter, from national security to trust in the news. This Summer Review reflects on the people and programmes that shaped the past six months, and the conversations that carry into 2026.
Wishing you a safe and restful summer, and every good wish for the year ahead. Thank you!
