As MIRA gains more members, we become stronger, and this results in more legislators listening to our voice regarding issues that affect our businesses.

Mike Koza
High Pointe Oil, Novi M
MIRA, as an organization is a good corporate citizen that gives back to the people of this community.”

“I expect MIRA to continue to lead the political fight for issues that involve building a stronger business climate and hope everyone promotes membership because MIRA’s consolidated voice for the group is stronger that it would be for each member.

Mike Quinn
Pepsi Beverages, Howell MI
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.

Fred Dally
Medicine Chest, Detroit MI
Not everyone realizes how important MIRA is or how it benefits their business.”

“There are many intangible assets for each member’s business from work MIRA does behind the scenes in Lansing, Columbus, and Washington on issues that affect all of us. As we gain more members, our voice becomes stronger.

By increasing membership, MIRA can improve the perception of supermarkets in the area. Metro-Detroit is perceived as a food desert, but we have some of the best supermarkets anywhere.

Jim Hooks
Metro Foodland, Detroit MI
There is strength in numbers, and the more members MIRA has, the more we can get accomplished.
