We hope to welcome you in person As this issue of the MISA eDATA reaches your inbox, our first Regional AGM in August is only about six weeks away. In this issue we bring you the dates of these important meetings, and would like to urge you to diarise them and attend them if your schedule allows. It gives you, as a MISA member, an opportunity to engage with us and give us your valuable input. The MISA Regional representatives also get elected at these meetings, so attending gives you a say in the leadership of your union! Also coming up in August are the Women’s Forum August Day Breakfasts, so be sure to diarise those and RSVP your attendance as soon as possible. Finally, we look at how and when you can claim UIF. All the best, and enjoy what is left of Youth Month! Kind regards, Martlé Keyter, CEO Operations Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA) PS: Don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
