It is vitally important for everyone to promote membership to MIRA so that the association can continue to provide great services to its members. This will enable them to serve as a cornerstone within their communities.

Percy Wells, II
Coca-Cola Refreshments, Belleville MI
I encourage MIRA members to aggressively promote membership to make a greater impact on local and national political leaders. With more PAC money, we can achieve more favorable legislation for our members.

Delaware Market & Cafe, Delaware OH
Even though we’re not affected by the meat labeling law because we’re small and everything comes directly from the farmer, we rely on the information MIRA provides and how much they try to help small businesses,” “We appreciate the programs, too, but the way they work to keep us updated and protect us from taxes and regulations is the most important.

Mike Ensing
Van Ball's Prime Beef
I believe in the effectiveness and spirit of the staff and members of this organization. I recommend that all members read the MIRA mission statement to get a sense of how important it is for everyone to promote membership.

Paul Elhindi
Corner Market, Lyndhurst OH
There is strength in numbers and higher membership makes a good impression. Legislators and lobbyists will listen to an organization with 4,000 members.

Pat LaVecchia
Pat's Auto Service, Rocky River OH
MIRA membership continues to be valuable as a way to stay in tune with the needs of our customers. My father’s big thing was ‘always take care of the customer.’ Membership in a strong association is important because of the strength in numbers it offers to its members.
