KeyNote Address - International Ergonomic Association Recife, Brazil 2012



Dear Kapila,

I join with all the leadership team of the IEA in congratulating you on achieving this prestigious invitation and delivering the inspiring story. It was a pleasure to be with you in Recife and to witness your presentation with international colleagues. They were so impressed by you and your achievements. It was a wonderful example of the proposed “Future of Ergonomics” challenge how you have engaged so successfully with  political and business stakeholders to take up the leadership to strive for adopting theergonomics interventions.
I just wished there were more in the room to hear thestory. It was a pity that the Program had four excellent keynotes all on at thesame time.
I am personally so proud to be part of your journey Kapila. Who would have thought 6 or 7 years ago when we started corresponding that you wouldbe one of the IEA 2012 Keynote speakers in Brazil with a paper to be publishedin the Journal Ergonomics?
Your personal drive and commitment is a wonderful testament of what makes a successful outcome. I look forward to witness your next achievements. I feel confident that there will be many more to come.

Best Wishes,

David Caple
Former President - IEA
