Honorees will serve as representatives in their state and highlight the importance mothers at home, at work and in the world.  They will be recognized at an annual national conference in Washington DC in April 2017, where a National Mother of the Year will be named.  She will serve as a national ambassador on the important role mothers play in our country and the programs that American Mothers supports, including the National Fifth Grade Essay Contest, the National Day of Service and contribute American Mothers voice at the United Nations.
