Meet the Event Founder
Cheryle Jackson
AAR, SVP Global Business Development
Cheryle Robinson Jackson’s career has been marked by many firsts, spanning international business, civil rights, politics, government, not-for-profit, and the media. A senior aviation executive at AAR, and a rare woman of color in this position, Cheryle is a real go-getter. Prior to joining AAR, she ran for President Barack Obama’s vacantU.S. Senate seat in 2010 after serving as the first female president and CEO of the Chicago Urban League.
In her intimate TEDx Talk “Grit and Grace,” Cheryle validates the career trajectories of go-getters like herself but also implores women to self-advocate and practice grace, love in action toward self, as a sustainable model of success. The overwhelming response led Cheryle to consider ways to serve women on a broader scale. Hence, Grit + Grace Day and CheryleJackson.com were born. Cheryle wants to provide accessible and affordable coaching to all women ready to live out their best lives.
Those in need of financial assistance to attend Grit + Grace Day can apply for one of a limited number of scholarships.
