By: International Mothers Hall of Fame This year the International Mothers Hall Of Fame begins a new tradition, an annual list of women chosen to be honored as “International Mothers of the Year.” Selected by the IMHOF Board of Directors, the yearly list will comprise a mix of women from different backgrounds who have all made motherhood headlines in a positive way. Some will be famous, some known best only to those that love them most, but ALL the women will be part of the great sisterhood of mothers and that makes them heroes because every mother is one! This year’s honorees are: Victoria Beckham, singer and fashion designer Lisa Belkin, Huffington Post journalist Stephanie Decker, Indiana housewife and tornado survivor Betty DeGeneres, author & activist Michelle Obama, First Lady Meredith Olafson, North Dakota nurse and surrogate mother Holly Robinson Peete, actress and television host Ann Romney, philanthropist and wife of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney Summer Sanders, Olympic medalist Reese Witherspoon, Academy award-winning actress As Barack Obama stated last week – and every woman already knew – there is NO tougher job than being a mother! IMHOF Executive Director, Mitchell Mortimer, says that mothers need respect and recognition more than ever before. “Too often mothers are pitted against each other” says Mortimer. “They need to celebrate the bond that motherhood creates among women and not get caught up in the labels and stereotypes. There is no such thing as a ‘super mom’ rather all moms are super!” This year’s honorees will each be presented with a special commemorative gift, and their names will join those of women from around the world in the IMHOF Hall of Fame. And plans are currently underway to create a lasting tribute to mothers in IMHOF's headquarters home state of Texas. An 8-acre International Mothers Hall of Fame Gardens will be built (ground has been broken) in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, and will include a granite wall monument engraved with the names of all the Hall of Fame inductees (current & future).
