Happy Women's Day (and Month)

Ladies, it’s your time to shine this month! Not that the ladies in the South African retail motor industry don’t always shine, but August is especially important as it marks Women’s Month in South Africa.

Women’s Day on 9 August, which this year is observed on Monday, 10 August, is a day on which we celebrate and pay homage to the women of our nation and the role that women have played, and continue to do, in the history of our country.

August also marks MISA’s Regional AGMs and Women’s Forum August Day Breakfasts and on behalf of the MISA team I would like to urge you to attend these if your diary allows it. We value the opportunity to interact in person with you, our valued member, and to get your feedback first-hand, so we really hope to see you there!
 
Kind regards and all the best until next time,  

Martlé Keyter, CEO Operations
Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA)
