Kerman resident Susan Boyd has been named Mother of the Year by the Fresno County Women's Chamber of Commerce. Chamber members and Boyd's family surprised Boyd with the news Tuesday afternoon with a reception at Fresno Yosemite International Airport. Boyd, a mother of four and grandmother to 10, said she was thrilled with the honor and excited to have a chance to work with the Women's Chamber for the coming year.

"Fresno is a wonderful community, and organizations like the Chamber are so valuable," Boyd said. "I'm grateful to be able to get involved." Boyd was nominated by her children and friends for the year-long honor, said Chamber president Lisa Bennett. "We had a lot of entries and three finalists before we selected Susan," Bennett said. "She has a great history of involvement in the community and in her family." Boyd serves on the board of trustees for Children's Hospital of Central California, but being alone in the spotlight will be a new role for her, said her daughter, Michelle Scribner. "My mother is usually more behind the scenes," Scribner said. "She's always cared about the individual and goes out of her way to focus on people and make sure they are taken care of."
