The formation of the national association was underpinned by a call for ONE voice for industry. As a unified body we have greater leverage with government, we can collate more accurate statistics and we can make ourselves heard. MIASA takes on issues for members – big or small. There are the list of benefits which accrue to all members but in addition, you as a member can call us for information or assistance any time. Whether it is providing research statistics, helping with SAMSA regulations or the interpretation thereof, this is what an industry association is there for. Belonging to a larger representative and inclusive group brings longer term benefits too and we encourage all industry players to become members of MIASA.

ICOMIA – Tony Rice, Secretary General – 23 April 2012
You gave us such a wonderful Congress in beautiful Cape Town. You had worked so hard for this success on top of the challenges of forming the new association and I hope you feel your efforts have been justifiably rewarded. Everyone I spoke to has been so positive about the Congress and so full of admiration for what you delivered and this despite you not having attended a Congress.
