A Step Up was founded by Carolyn Shaughnessy, Amy Briney, Stacey Keenan, Gina Saltonstall and Pam Forman. As Carolyn explains it, she was looking for something in her life, she just wasn’t sure what. She wanted to give back but also have something to take away for herself. She wanted to feel engaged, committed, a part of something, not just by sending a check or attending a benefit. Carolyn is like many women-highly educated, skilled, social and keenly aware of the needs of others in the world around her. But she and her partners did something most people never do-they took action.
