Written By Aisha Christa Atkinson

Meet the 2023 Mother of the Year® award recipients—women from diverse backgrounds and experiences across the nation recognized for their work, resilience and commitment to family and community. These mothers were chosen through a national nomination and selection process led by American Mothers, which has had the honor of searching for and selecting the Mother of the Year® in every state, district and territory in the country since 1935.

These state honorees will represent their respective home states at the American Mothers National Convention this April 20-22 in Omaha, Nebraska. One honoree will be selected as the 2023 National Mother of the Year® at this convention.

Join us in congratulating each and every one of these amazing mothers!
