Seeing these wonderful pictures of Joan makes it so very difficult to comprehend the loss. It seems like only yesterday that Joan and I were sitting together discussing the details of her retirement. She had such well-defined and thoughtful plans for the next chapter of her life. Cancer certainly wasn’t part of them. Still, in the much too short time that she was granted, she did fulfill her goals of concentrating on her relationships with her family and friends, of continuing to extend the reach of healthy workplaces, and travelling. Joan’s title during the years I knew her at IAPA was that of Manager, Healthy Workplaces. It was a unique management role in that it had no assigned direct reports. Yet I would argue that we were all Joan’s direct reports. She led us all by challenging our thinking and our actions in how we set and implemented policy. Joan’s vast knowledge and genuine commitment, coupled with the masterful ability to speak her mind in a tactful and constructive manner had an enormous influence on IAPA internally, and me, personally. The outpouring of support to Joan’s family from her IAPA colleagues is testimony to how appreciated her leadership and friendship was by all. I join in adding my sincere condolences as well. May the shared memories from her friends and colleagues be a comfort through this very difficult time. Blessings.
