We are grateful for another year full of opportunities to deliver our commitment to organising impactful activities for our members.  With guidance from its Council, driven by Working Committees and Secretariat, MGA has been working tirelessly in organising value-driven activities and getting involved in the national scene as highlighted in the bulletin as follows:
