Each year, the Fresno County Women’s Chamber of Commerce honors the Fresno County Mother of the Year. The honoree should be a successful mother, embody the traits regarded in mothers (such as courage, cheerfulness, patience, affection, kindness, understanding & homemaking ability), exhibit conduct that exemplifies "The Golden Rule," have a sense of responsibility in civic affairs, religious, service and professional organizations, and be active in service for public good.

**Due to Covid, Mother of the Year 2020 and 2021 have been postponed.

Our next Mother of the Year will be held May 6, 2022 at Pardini's.**
