2024
89th national Mothers convention
Every year, mothers from around the country are nominated and selected by a committee to represent their respective state as the Mother of the Year®. These mothers will be recognized and honored at the 2026 National Convention in McLean, Virginia on April 23-25.
Dr. Kenae Black was named the 2026 National Mother of the Year® at the American Mothers National Convention in McLean, Virginia.
The idea of a Mothers Committee began in 1931 when Eleanor Roosevelt announced the formation of a nation-wide program for the better observance of Mother’s Day that would help dependent mothers and needy children. Sponsored by J.C. Penney’s Golden Rule Foundation, the Golden Rule Mother’s Day Committee established a fund to promote a “Golden Rule observance of Mother’s Day.”
The Golden Rule Movement creates a more empathetic culture by empowering, educating, and inspiring women to lead by example through acts of service in their local communities.
