Tim Jackson

Tim Jackson - Bio Tim Jackson has served 30 years in the automotive industry and 35 years in association management. Of those, 18 years overlapped as Tim served as president/CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), the trade association for 400 new car, truck, RV and motorcycle dealers across the state. Tim led the advocacy efforts for the statewide association winning 23 of 23 priority must-pass measures for the association. Tim also produced the annual Denver Auto Show for 18 years, the third oldest new car show in the country, which dates to 1902. As a private pilot and aviation enthusiast as well as car aficionado, Tim became very interested in the now fast-growing, yet little known, start of an entirely new industry in mobility, that of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing Vehicles (eVTOLs), also frequently referred to as passenger drones or flying cars. Tim is a student of both aviation and automotive and is interested in how they will soon connect. Tim has a personal goal to visit as many presentations on VTOLs as possible. So far, Tim has made over 50 presentations on the intersection of automotive and aviation. Tim offers one of the most popular and exciting eVTOL (aka passenger drones or flying cars) presentations available. Tim and his wife, Beverly, reside in Denver and spend winters in the Phoenix area. They have two grown children – a daughter, who is an attorney based in Kansas City, and a son, who teaches economics at the University of York, England. They also have three (3) grandchildren. Tim earned his Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation in 1995 and Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation in 1997 and is a frequent speaker on business, automotive and aviation industry issues. In 2021, Tim was recognized by Automotive News as an Automotive All-Star. In April, 2023, Tim became the 64th honoree inducted into the Colorado Automotive Hall of Fame.
