Although Jewell Jackson McCabe's career is young, some of her endeavors are already receiving national recognition. The YWCA has saluted her for "outstanding service" on behalf of women in business and she was selected as one of the "Outstanding Young Women of America," in 1977.

Presently, she is the Director of Government and Community Affairs for public television station, WNET-TV/13, and handles the station's relations with the federal, state and city governments as well as relations with major community organizations in the New York City metropolitan area.

Ms. McCabe serves as the President of the Coalition of 100 Black Women and through her work, has presented herself as a spokesperson and role-model for contemporary black women. 

Her previous positions include Associate Director for Public Information, Women's Division, Office of the Governor and as Director of Public Affairs for the New York Urban Coalition.

Ms. McCabe's civic and community affiliations include Co-Chair of Planned Parenthood of New York City's Public Issues and Answers Committee and Co-Chair of Women United for New York. She serves on the Boards of the Business Marketing Corporation, considered New York City's most prestigious board of business leadership and Lenox Hill Hospital among others. 

Ms. McCabe is a native of Washington, D.C. and the daughter of black broadcast pioneer Hal Jackson. 

The National Urban League Guild is proud to honor Jewell Jackson McCabe as a true symbol of "the best that is yet to come."
