The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) is an interdisciplinary society of professionals dedicated to stimulating and encouraging the effective application of information technology and integration of urban and regional information for decision making. URISA is a non-profit educational association of providers and users of spatial information in both the public and private sectors. RM-URISA is a regional chapter serving the Rocky Mountain area, including the states of Colorado, New Mexico,Utah and Wyoming.

At the forefront of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) implementation and application, RM/URISA is a growing professional/educational organization for individuals concerned with the effective use of information systems by local, regional, and state/province governments. Founded in 1982, RM-URISA provides a professional forum for those who believe that the effective use of computers and information systems technology improve the decision making process. With fewer resources, yet increasing demand for services, public agencies are turning to new technology to help solve socio-economic, environmental and developmental problems. RM-URISA strives to bridge the gaps among information producers, users, and system/service vendors--to bring about a better understanding of ways in which timely and meaningful information can be available for decision and policy making. Upholding these principles, RM-URISA extends these ideals to local professionals in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
