"Act is at the crossroads. New effective leadership is required for the Party organisation. We are consequently endorsing Catherine Judd for the position of Party President.

Catherine will provide strong leadership and a fresh sense of direction. She has the ability to present the party effectively and to communicate the fundamental values it stands for. Please give her your vote for President."

"It has been my singular privilege to work with Catherine Judd on the Wellington College Board of Trustees for the last six years. She is a person of incisive intellect, prescient vision and great personal warmth.  Her contribution as a communicator to the development of the College has been immeasurable."

Roger Moses
Headmaster, Wellington College

"I have worked with Catherine Judd over many years in my roles as Chairman of the Taskforce on Private Provision for Retirement, Director of the Board of National Provident Fund,  Chairman of the GST Coordinating Office and Managing Partner of Price Waterhouse.

Catherine has outstanding abilities as a communicator.  Her depth of experience in providing strategic advice both to business and government is rare to find in politics these days. She will bring these enviable qualities to the role of president with great success." 

Jeff Todd
Company Director

"The skills that Catherine Judd will bring to the ACT presidency will be very valuable to the Party.  I believe that ACT is very lucky to have someone of Catherine's calibre who is prepared to make the personal and public sacrifice that such a position entails.

I am personally grateful that she is prepared to make this contribution and I wholeheartedly support her bid for the Presidency of ACT."

John Boscawen
ACT 1996 Epsom candidate
Board Member 1997/98, Fundraiser and Activist

"Catherine with her marketing, public relations and communication skills will bring a much needed new image to the face of ACT.  Her engaging personality and her sound understanding of ACT philosophies will enhance ACTs appeal to all sections of the voting public."

Lyn Fitness
ACT Board Member 1997 - 2000

"ACT has the soundest policies and the highest quality MPs.  Where it has been lacking is in the public portrayal of those policies and in grassroots organisation.  Catherine Judd is an extremely impressive person who has exactly the talents and experience most needed at this critical moment in ACT's development."

I have known Catherine Judd for 30 years, and worked with her as a television programme maker and as a consultant to business and government, both in New Zealand and overseas. To every challenge she has brought the same range of personal qualities and professional skills: tenacity, warmth, enormous energy, a rigorous intelligence and a refreshingly creative approach. Her talent for thinking laterally enables her to find effective, speedy solutions while others are still deciphering the problem. She is instinctively inclusive and team-conscious, uncompromising in the demands she makes of herself but fair and generous to others. She inspires great loyalty.
