Celebrating Judy Drotman’s Enduring Legacy

Portrait of the late Judy Drotman.

Presented with the support of the Drotman family, this annual celebration honors the life and legacy of Judy Drotman while celebrating the women who make a lasting difference in our lives.

Judy was a deeply respected community leader who served Plano selflessly for decades and helped shape this tradition through her years as chair of the Mother’s Day Tea.

Where Celebration and Community Come Together
