MIRA is a great organization – no doubt about it. It’s worth every penny. Even if you don’t participate in every program that they have – and they have a ton of them – you’re going to get your money’s worth. It’s a great value.

MIRA helps me. I was initially attracted by the Chase Paymentech program, but truly appreciate the association’s expertise and information. I’ve found so much info in the Bottom Line publication that is useful, or helpful, and that has taught us something to pay attention to.” “The magazine has been fabulous; it’s totally saved me a few times.

Especially in this difficult economy and with so many regulations, we need to have people who can speak for our industry and fight for our causes.”

“I want MIRA’s base to be wider because new members mean a larger organization and a stronger voice – which enables organizations like MIRA to affect what happens in local, state, and federal government – and a strong voice depends on building a good, solid base.

MIRA is a valuable resource for retail businesses. As a member, we have been kept abreast of government and industry relations that impact our business, both now and in the future. MIRA also serves by answering our questions and educating our team on new regulations and guidelines.

I still serve with MIRA on the Foundation Board, so I can bring my connections with the outside world to build a better connection with MIRA, and all of those dealings with corporate America in my time with MIRA have helped me in my role today at ACC.
