Who we are
The Research and Information Center (RIC) serves as a clearinghouse for information produced by and about cities. We are an information center which provides research, reference and survey services. Surveys for MTAS consultants and city officials are conducted to create and collect unique information on municipal government not available from other sources. RIC staff are responsible for the quarterly MTAS E-News and posting to MTAS's Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages.
Be sure to follow MTAS on Facebook and Twitter!
Research and Information Center Webinars 2022: Got Questions? We've Got Answers!
In October 2021, we conducted a needs assessment survey with cities and towns regarding the services we currently provide and if there are any services we need to start providing. We received some great feedback and one of the common themes in the feedback was that we need to do a better job of letting people know about our services and that we are here to help.
To address that need, we are conducting free webinars via Zoom in April, August and September 2022. Each webinar is 30 minutes long with time at the end for Q & A.
If you’ve got questions, we’ve got answers! Sign up below for the upcoming webinars.
