I had heard a lot of great things about them and decided to get involved. I am glad I did, and I plan to continue supporting them. I think MIRA is an excellent organization. They’ve not only helped me through their programs, but they’ve also helped me with some legal issues. These are just some of the reasons why i’ll continue supporting them.

The industry has been good to me, and I want to help others have the same success.” “United we stand, divided we fall. Our industry is only as good as the weakest link, so stronger members mean a stronger industry.

First, the MIRA program provides a great link to bringing together Nestle Direct Store Delivery with potential new retailers and customers who would like to sell Nestle frozen food that otherwise we may never have come in contact with. Second, the MIRA program allows Nestle to develop specific promotions for MIRA retailers to help drive business. Best of all, This is accomplished while developing great relationships with both the staff and members of MIRA.

MIRA has a large impact on the industry and on my family business. Having input on decision making in Lansing and Washington is essential. We need to be a strong voice of the industry to survive.

We have a very strong working relationship and alliance with MIRA. We serve many of the same customers/members, and we’re working very closely together to make sure Money Service Businesses have fair access to financial services.

My dad has been a member of MIRA for a very long time. All of his stores are members, and it’s a great organization. I feel its programs will be very helpful to its members as the organization keeps growing.
