Introducing...
 Our Extraordinary Pageant Staff

Together we DO make dreams come true!
"We reach for the stars...and land among the clouds!"

 

 


Rose Boshnack
Mrs. New York America's Chaperone

Among the many things that make her special, Rose is a mother of four, and grandmother of ten. The new Mrs. New York America will have the privilege of getting to know her well, as they travel together throughout New York State making appearances.

After more than thirty years in the banking business, Rose is now retired and enjoying a relaxing life. In addition to spending time with her family, Rose is very proficient at needlepoint and crocheting. She is originally from Brooklyn and now resides in Hamlin, New York.

This is Rose's ninth year on the Mrs. New York America Pageant staff.

Golding, Inc., and Lock City Trucking, both of Lockport. She has been in this trucking and warehousing business that was started by her father, for over 39 years.

On a more personal level, Judy and her husband, Tony have been married for 43 years, and have 5 children, Kevin, Ron, Scott, Kim and A.J. They also have 8 grandchildren; Craig, Jennifer, Nicholas, Kayla, Melody, Kevin, Autumn and Anthony. Judy's hobbies include shopping, ceramics, sunning by her in ground pool, and spending time with her family. She is a woman who knows the importance of close family relationships, and advocates bringing up children with faith in God, morals, integrity and lots of love!

Don Seidman
Official Pageant Photographer

Don hales from Pembroke, Florida. He is the official non-press photographer for the  MISS USA, MISS UNIVERSE,  MISS TEEN USA and The Mrs. America / Mrs. World Pageant events. Known for his very flamboyant approach to fashion (tongue in cheek), Don can be found almost any place during show week. He can be seen at rehearsals, outings and is especially visible on final night. He shot his first preliminaries as well as 35 National Shows for the USA systems. Don also photographs models, talent competitions and other pageants throughout the United States. His expertise in fashion photography is known and respected from coast to coast from Hollywood, Florida to Hollywood, California. He has snapped many top celebrities in the entertainment industry and in 1992 made 148 trips by air. His allegiance to film manufacturers is undying. Why? Because, on those 148 trips he shot over 10,000 rolls of film! So, don't be surprised if one day at an event, someone should tap you on the shoulder and say, "Hello, smile, I'm Don Seidman!" 

This is Don's fourth year as a part of the Mrs. New York America Pageant family.

 

Judi loves working with people and thoroughly enjoys being on the pageant staff. Since receiving her degree in Business Administration, she has worked as a greenhouse supervisor and is currently employed at Mount St. Mary's Hospital in Lewiston, New York as a Health Information Management Secretary.

In her spare time, Judi enjoys movies, cooking, crafts, riding horses, and doing activities with her family.

This is Judi's ninth year on the Mrs. New York America Pageant staff.
