Who is Carroll McKenney?
These are family names important to CMF’s founder, Stephen McKenney Steck. Steck attributes the programming, fundraising and leadership success he has gained in his 50 year career in media to a certain “DNA” implanted within him by his family at an early age: a. persistence and focus came from his father, Richard Carroll Steck; b. unconditional love and acceptance came from his mother, Helen McKenney Steck, and c. creativity and curiosity came from his brother, Richard Carroll Steck II In recognition that those family members and values are fundamental to the creation and nurturing of CMF’s mission, Steck chose to honor their legacy in naming the company by the use of their middle names.
