Welcome to the
Range Association of Municipalities and Schools
The Range Association of Municipalities and Schools (RAMS) is a non-profit organization formed over 80 years ago by a group of forward thinking elected officials who were concerned about the impact and influence of the Oliver Mining Company at the State Legislature and the potential negative affect on our communities and schools. RAMS has served as a vigilant steward of the best interests of the Iron Range since 1939 and has represented the Range on a myriad of issues for three quarters of a century.
