January Iowa NAMA Meeting:
Managing Crisis Communication
with Dr. Kris Boone-Payne, Kansas State University

 Crises happen. We can wish that they won’t but they do. Please join us on Friday, January 9, where Dr. Kris Boone-Payne will talk about how people respond in a crisis, how we can prepare, how we behave as the crisis unfolds, and how to clean up afterward.  Communication is a key and can have a crucial role in reducing severity.

She was previously departmental academic coordinator for agricultural communications and journalism and has been department head since 2003. Boone is a former extension agent and has experience in newspapers and public relations. She has served on numerous campus committees and in national capacities with NCERA 224 and the Association for Communication Excellence.
