Newberry especially likes working with independent retailers, he says, because that’s where you can build your brand quickly and effectively. “Working through MIRA makes that even more effective, because independents are especially strong in Michigan and Ohio.

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.

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.

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.

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

I look forward to building my relationship with Auday and the other board members and being part of such an important association that gives back to the community we serve.
