American Mothers Inc. (AMI) of Utah Valley is a strong network of amazing women dedicated to improving themselves, their families and the community through education and service. Our chapter seeks to build and train mothers who then share information and insights with their families. Most importantly, we believe in ACTING upon what we are learning, discussing and promoting. As mothers, we lead our families into service and act upon family values to shape the community we live in.

Description:
Our chapter meetings, leadership opportunities and ongoing networking provide a constant flow of ideas and information to mothers who are self motivated to constantly seek improvement through association with other strong and like-minded women.
Strengthen and Educate Families

Monthly value training suggestions provide moms with information and direction to guide family discussions and learning. We conclude the month's learning with service projects geared toward whole family participation. Groups of AMI families join together simultaneously having fun, building friendships, doing good and helping others.
Build the Community

Service at every meeting has been our focus since the creation of our chapter. AMI members stand for decency and are actively engaged in various projects supporting this belief. Networking occurs to inform members on social action and political issues.

History:
The ideals of American Mothers, Inc.® (AMI) began in the heart and mind of Anna Reeves Jarvis as she sought to heal the hearts of families caught in the conflict of the Civil War. Organizing a day of love and friendship across battle lines, this simple observance grew into a national holiday known as Mother's Day.

The first National Mother of the Year® was presented by Honorary Chair Sarah Delano Roosevelt in 1935 at the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in New York City. Every year since then, AMI has named a remarkable mother from among Mothers of the Year for 50 states, Puerto Rico, and District of Columbia for this important honor. In the 1960's, AMI expanded to support the specific needs of young mothers and the selection of National Young Mother of the Year.
