The Golden Rule Movement creates a more positive and empathetic culture in America by empowering, educating, and inspiring women to lead by example and model kindness and compassion through volunteerism and acts of service in their local communities. The Golden Rule Movement provides a platform for women who embody the selfless, caring spirit of motherhood, and who are using that maternal energy to make the world a better place.

Annual National Convention

For more than eight decades the members of American Mothers, Inc. have gathered annually to conduct the general business of the organization and recognize the National Mother of the Year®. Today, more than 250 community leaders and women of influence representing all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands travel to our Nation’s Capitol for the occasion, meeting with their elected officials on Capitol Hill, hearing from exceptional speakers, and celebrating our organization’s commitment to giving during a gala fundraiser event to benefit the Golden Rule Grant Fund.

Local Chapters and State Associations

Across the United States there are groups of moms meeting regularly for sisterhood, support and service. These local chapters and state associations give women the opportunity to connect and plug in for educational and community service opportunities.
