About KLB
K risti Laguzza-Boosman is a public communications consultant and the former Community Outreach Coordinator for PBS station KCTS in Seattle. She works with documentary producers and non profits to create local and national public awareness and community outreach campaigns. Past projects include such diverse and complex issues as foster care, the environment, addiction and recovery, transportation, death and dying, Native American treaty rights, and world hunger.

Currently Ms. Laguzza-Boosman is earning a graduate degree in Public Policy and Administration from Walden University where she has focused her attention on the economic and social health of the nation.  She presented her first major research on Monitoring Social Vs Economic Indicators at the WHAT'S THE ECONOMY FOR, ANYWAY? Conference held in Washington, DC in October of 2007. 

Her graduate work and research have allowed her to develop the academic underpinnings to more fully understand the economic and social conditions challenging the nation. Her most recent work was an economic policy proposal which she sent to President Obama and members of his cabinet in the event current policies prove unable to achieve the results required to stabilize our economy and avert further disaster.  Her research, entitled, “PLAN B” – Recalibrating an Economy in Decline: Building an Economy in Balance, explains the systemic imbalances in our economy that led to the current crisis and how to recalibrate these areas in order to achieve economic equilibrium.  In it, she not only lays the groundwork for a true economic revival by putting the needs of our nation’s people first, she does so in a way that prepares the nation for the future challenges of diminishing oil reserves and climate change.  

Ms. Laguzza-Boosman is not an economist, however, her background has provided her a broad prism from which to understand our nation’s problems using multiple disciplines including: Economics, sociology, political science, public policy, public administration, public health, environmental science, and ethics.  As a result, “PLAN B” is not limited to economic prescriptions for how free markets work, but instead relies on a broad based understanding of how healthy, balanced economies actually function.
