Mrs. Judy Waldman
Upon her retirement from the Moravian Academy Board of Trustees in 2013, Judy’s father asked her if she left the school a better place than she found it. Her emphatic answer was “yes.”
Judy Waldman served on the Moravian Academy Board beginning in 1995, holding the positions of Secretary (2003-2005) and Vice Chair (2005-2009) before becoming Chair in 2009. As Chair, her accomplishments include: the fundraising activities in
Honoring Our Heritage, Building Our Future – The Campaign for Moravian Academy; construction of a new Athletic and Wellness Center; construction of a new maintenance building; the most recent strategic plan and marketing initiative and plan; and a financial sustainability initiative and plan.
While the list of accomplishments achieved under her tenure are impressive, Judy feels it was truly a team effort. “It was not the best time economically to embark on a campaign, but everything really just fell into place and arranged itself on a plate for me. The capital campaign was the first in decades, and our community was not used to that.” An unassuming leader, she credits a strong, cohesive board and knowledgeable staff with the success.
Mrs. Waldman is originally from Easton, PA, and with her husband Bruce, moved back to the Valley in 1992. They have four children who attended Moravian Academy; Jack, Samantha, Casey and Buckley. As a parent at Moravian Academy, Mrs. Waldman was active in volunteering for school activities like the annual Auction within weeks of her children enrolling.
Judy and her husband are active in the community. Moravian Academy has been blessed to have them as significant benefactors and supporters. Her philanthropy and tireless efforts as a volunteer have helped the Academy in almost every way imaginable. Judy’s generosity and volunteer support have touched the lives of countless students, alumni and faculty. She has made a significant difference in the evolution of the school she loves.
Besides her activities at Moravian Academy, Judy has also served on other Boards in the Lehigh Valley including Lehigh Valley Summerbridge and the Third Street Alliance for Women and Children. She served on the Board of The Hillside School for nine years and currently serves on the Board of the Perkiomen School, both schools her children attended.
She is currently awaiting the birth of her third grandchild.
