  With a BA in Biology/Chemistry and MS in Biomed and Business Administration, Judy brings to the CHABA Board more than 27 years in the corporate meeting planning and special events industries, plus experience as a business and union executive, and even as a performer in television and radio. Now a freelance program and onsite event manager, she executes events or offers onsite assistance to offsite planners, doing it all: director, facilitator, coordinator, talent handler--plus (as needed) animal, staff, attendee and vendor wrangler and tourguide, and can handle about any situation she finds herself in.
  A father in the construction business gave her early access to architecture and building arts. Growing up in South Jersey, steeped in history from before the American Revolution, combined with her mother Goldie Wulderk’s interest in preservation, helped build a fascination with area history, as well as a hankering for a Victorian home. “I was always exposed to local historic homes and buildings,” she says.
  One of these--the 1891 Queen Anne Victorian so-called 'More House' on Pearl Street)--spurs an ongoing interest in both history and preservation, and she worked with Goldie not just to restore its original glory, but to uncover the More family role in the industrial heyday of the city. She also inherited the 1870s storefront at 28 East Commerce Street that houses her mother’s (and now her) nonprofit Senior Thrift and Caring Center. As STCC President and CEO, she has generously offered office space to CHABA here, while maintaining a food gleaning program and thrift shop. These roles have kept her in touch with both the needs of post-industrial Bridgeton and the complications of maintaining and restoring a downtown structure. She admits that it’s sometimes sad to see how parts of the historic district have declined. "We really need the preservation efforts of CHABA,” she says. “I’m willing to help!”
