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's Auto Service, Rocky River OH
It’s unbelievable what MIRA has been able to do. They’ve done a lot for us but just the CATax alone is the difference between making money and losing money. And now, with what they’re trying to do for us with the cigarette and tobacco tax is another battle we’re fighting to try to keep it down where things are semi-affordable for the normal wiring Joe!

Dave Hilderbrand
Sterling One Stop & Sterling Crossing
It is important to give back to our great industry by doing everything possible to improve the overall well-being of MIRA members.”

“There is strength in numbers. In 2011, the retail environment will change very quickly, and it is critical that MIRA grows stronger in every aspect of our businesses.

Gary Davis
Prairie Farms Dairy, Oak Park MI
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.

Steve Ali
Xtreme Proformance, Cleveland OH
Auday is a great guy, who listens to suggestions and is very open. MIRA hears people, which is key. If you have a question or suggestion, they listen and try to do something about it.

Mark Kassa
Heartland Marketplace/ Slight Return Band
It’s very important to be part of the industry you serve. MIRA is an important organization, and being part of a great team gives us the voice to fight for what we believe in, and the power to know we are being treated fairly. Unity is strength, and the more members we have, the stronger we become.
