GSA Mission and Values
Our Mission
The Granite State Ambassadors program is dedicated to meeting
and exceeding the informational needs of guests and residents of
the State of New Hampshire through in-depth training and
active participation of our certified Ambassadors.
Our Core Values
We believe in volunteerism, participation, and cooperation.
We believe in training and demonstrating the essence of New
Hampshire hospitality.
We believe that citizen responsibility and living landscape are the
themes that define this essence.
Citizen Responsibility
A belief that individual citizens can and will take responsibility
for our future.
Living Landscape
A strong attachment to the condition of the state,
including both its natural resources and its built
environments.
In short, we believe that New Hampshire will only be a good
place to visit if it continues to be a good place to live. Visitors
will come only if we work proactively to retain our scenic open
spaces, rich historic and cultural attractions, livable communi-
ties, as well as the social structure that values the individuals
and permits them regular opportunities to pitch in and make a
difference.

3. A Message from Our Chairman
This year is one of change and moving forward for the Granite State Ambassadors.
As Judi has retired from the leadership role she has had since the founding of the
Granite State Ambassadors organization, the Board of Directors has assumed new
responsibilities of leadership, added four new Directors, and searched for a new
Executive Director to lead the organization on a day-to-day basis. We welcome new
Directors, Mike Somers, Chief Executive at the NH Lodging and Restaurant
Association; Peter Laufenberg, Internship Coordinator at Plymouth State
University; Tori Berube, Assistant Vice President of Granite State Management &
Resources; and Chris Lockwood, Marketing Director at the NH Speedway. Kate
Luczko has completed her three year term, serving as Secretary and on the
Executive Committee, and is moving on to other endeavors. We thank her for her
service and wish her well. We say farewell to Richard Russell, 2011 GSA of the Year,
who completed his three-year term on the Board. As most of you know, Richard
has moved to South Carolina—we will miss his sly smile and wonderful counsel on
the Board. And welcome the 2014 GSA of the Year — and who will that be? We
will be finding out very soon!
We are deeply grateful to our wonderful staff, Judi, Kelly, Michelle, Lisa, Naomi, Eileen, and Matt for continuing to
complete their tasks and take on much more in this transition year. They have done a fabulous job—we couldn’t have
survived this year without them.
We thank our Sponsors who support our activities with funds and counsel. We appreciate their continued commitment to
the Granite State Ambassadors that allows us to welcome our guests from near and far away. We also want to thank you,
our Granite State Ambassadors who, day after day, put on your smiles and exceed the expectations of our traveling public.
Thank you!!
I would like at this time to remember Ruth Tolf Ansell. She served for many years as a Director, and advised us well on
legal issues and how to increase our endowment. She passed away this winter from a brain tumor, far too young.
As you can see, the Board of Directors has come through a very busy year and we look forward to working with our new
Executive Director, and expect our new Directors on the Board to become active and productive members of the
Granite State Ambassadors. Once all are settled in, we will start on our strategic plan for 2015-18 which will lead us into
the future. It has been a most interesting and productive year—on to our new year!!
Gretchen Ziegler, Chair
Board of Directors, GSA Stonewall Class of 2004
A Message from Judi Window
In 1959, folksinger Peter Seeger put the words of one of the Bible’s most
beautiful and meaningful verses to music. Loosely translated it says, “To
everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.” –
borrowed from my friend Rabbi Peter Tarlow
During the last 18 years, I have had the privilege of leading NH Granite State
Ambassadors as Managing Director and President/CEO. During my almost
two decades in this position, I have witnessed the evolution of an idea to a
strong and meaningful organization. Together, we have traveled the state,
trained over 1,300 residents, strengthened NH tourism, benefited our welcome
centers, grown with the airport, and most importantly, we have made New
Hampshire a place where our guests notice that we are different from other
states. New Hampshire is a place you feel welcomed.
Now, as is the case in all of life, it is time for transition. In October of 2013, I
stepped down from my leadership position to make way for a new generation
of leaders. The planning for this transition began nearly two years ago. Thank
you for an exciting 18 years. I am so proud of what this organization has
become… And it is all because of you!

10. History of the AMBIE Awards
The Granite State Ambassadors’ “Achievement Awards” were established in 1999 to honor 20 GSAs
who had achieved 100-500 hours of volunteer service. After growing to honor hundreds of GSAs for
thousands of hours of service, the event was renamed the “AMBIE” Awards (like the Emmy’s but for
Ambassadors).
Throughout the year, fellow Granite State Ambassadors, Center Managers, tourism & state officials,
and the traveling public, take time to give “Kudos” to our Granite State Ambassadors, particularly
those who volunteer their time.
From these submissions, our
Nominating Committee, comprised of
former GSAs of the Year, and Board
and Staff members, meets to discuss
the suggestions. This team develops a
recommended slate of award
recipients for approval by the NHGSA
Board of Directors.
Congratulations to our Annual, our
Hours, our Kudos and all our Award
recipients, and to all our wonderful
Granite Sate Ambassadors for your
dedication and service to New
Hampshire.

13. AwardsService Award - Kathleen Kozak
Common Man Inn & Spa Class of 2010
The Service Award is given to the GSA that serves the GSA program
volunteering their time with enthusiasm. They are someone who
shares their training expertise with others while still continuing to
learn about the state of New Hampshire through GSA special events,
tours, and specialized trainings. Kathleen Kozak always has a positive
and enthusiastic attitude. She goes above and beyond volunteering in
Tilton as well as at most events in her region. Kathleen brought her
master gardener skills to Tilton’s annual sweepstakes event planning
and designed beautiful flower arrangements. Kathleen brings a wealth
of knowledge about New Hampshire to share with visitors and
volunteers alike.
Hospitality from the Heart - Judy Lai
St. Mary’s Bank - America’s Credit Union Museum Class of 2008
This award is given to the GSA who spends endless hours trying to go
unnoticed and gives generous contributions to other GSAs from their
warm heart. There are people in this world that quietly reach out every
day… and they make a big impact. You don’t need a large voice, booming
vocal cords, or have to rush into a room to make a difference. Judy Lai
reaches people all the time as a Granite State Ambassador with her quiet
and soft way. Her impact has been felt for years at the Manchester
Welcome Center and Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. She serves
hours upon hours with various GSA volunteers. She answers questions in a
calming and reassuring manner that is receptive to those who need
assistance. Her service is steady and true and she makes a difference to our
state’s many visitors, as well as those who serve with her. Her kindness is
brightened with a smile and her eyes gently reach out to reassure those
who are lost or need help.
GSA of the Year - Sue Geyer
Currier Museum of Art Class of 2010
Recognized for excellent service to the community, dedicated to
the GSA mission, a GSA making a difference in volunteering at
centers, providing guests a unique experience with endless spirit
and enthusiasm, a help to other GSAs’ training, and mentoring
with patience. In working at the Manchester-Boston Regional
Airport, Sue Geyer always meets travelers’ needs to the best of her
ability. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the airport
and is able to assist all who approach the Information Booth.
In addition, she is quick to assess people’s emotional state, and
can easily ease their anxiety and pick up their spirits. Sue is also
adept at reaching out to fellow GSAs at social events and through
luncheons she organizes on her own time. She’s always making
everyone feel less like strangers towards each other and more like
a family.
