  Eric Glover and Jason Jackson 

  “Human-Machine Interaction: Leadership, Technology, and the Future”

                  Eric Glover                Dr. Jason Jackson

  The Retired Men’s Association (RMA) of Greenwich is pleased to announce a thought-provoking presentation titled “Human-Machine Interaction: Leadership, Technology, and the Future.” The event will feature Mr. Eric Glover and Dr. Jason Jackson of the Air Force Institute of Technology, two distinguished experts in data science, analytics, and leadership under stress. 

  Mr. Glover, a former enlisted Marine, Naval Officer, and entrepreneur, brings decades of experience in organizational strategy, quality management, and technological innovation. Dr. Jackson, a former military aviator and university professor, is recognized for his original scientific theory on executive coping mechanisms for information overload.Together, they have dedicated their careers to advancing data analytics and leadership decision-making capabilities.

  Their presentation will explore the evolving relationship between humans and machines, focusing on leadership decision-making in high-stress environments. Topics will include managing information overload, computing constraints in the emerging age of 'post-Moore’s Law', and the future of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large language models. Drawing from historical insights such as the Gutenberg Press and futurist works like Future Shock, the speakers will outline opportunities where technology can enhance, rather than overwhelm, human decision-making. 

  Glover and Jackson present actionable insights into how organizations can prepare for the next wave of technological change while maintaining human-centric leadership. The event will conclude with a call to action and open discussion. 

  Our next speakers, on July 30, will be Becca Hall, Project Manager, CDM Smith, with Jonathan Dean and Joseph Belrose, CTDOT, on “I-95 Greenwich Planning and Environment Study Update”

  The Greenwich Retired Men’s Association offers a free program every Wednesday that is open to the public, both men and women; no reservations are required. Our social break starts at 10:40 am followed promptly by our presentation at 11:00 am. For additional information see https://greenwichrma.org.

  Becca Hall and Joseph Belrose

  “I-95 Greenwich Planning and Environment  Study Update”

  Becca Hall of CDM Smith, an engineering and construction firm, and Joseph Belrose of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), will provide an overview of the I-95 Greenwich Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Study, including the study process, existing conditions in the study area, public outreach and engagement efforts, and next steps for the I-95 Greenwich PEL Study.

  The Greenwich study, which began in 2023 and is being performed by CTDOT, analyzes potential improvements for safety and mobility along the I-95 corridor from the New York state line to exit 7 in Stamford and along U.S. Route 1 within the study limits. A PEL study is a collaborative approach to decision-making used to identify transportation issues and environmental concerns. This integrated approach considers environmental, community, and economic goals early in the planning process and uses this information to transition from the long-range planning process to transportation project development and environmental review. 

  Becca Hall, Consultant Project Manager for CDM Smith, has more than 16 years of experience in transportation planning and design, and has worked with state,municipal, and private clients. Becca is a licensed Professional Engineer. Joseph Belrose is a Transportation Engineer III at CTDOT. He is actively working on both the I-95 Greenwich and I-95 Stamford PEL Studies. He has been with CTDOT for 11 years. Originally from Massachusetts, he graduated from Northeastern University in Boston. 

  Our next speaker, on August 6, will be Prof. David Yermack, New York University, “Is Cryptocurrency Here to Stay: Controversies and Consequences” 

  The Greenwich Retired Men’s Association offers a free program every Wednesday that is open to the public, both men and women; no reservations are required. Our social break starts at 10:40 am followed promptly by our presentation at 11:00 am. For additional information see https://greenwichrma.org.
