Constance Beverley, CEO of Share Winter Foundation, pivoted from being a Wall Street lawyer to now operating a grant-making organization that works to improve the lives, health and fitness of youth through winter sports.
Share Winter works closely with carefully selected grantees to build efficient, effective and sustainable winter sports programs and pipelines to ongoing winter sports participation.... [+]The Foundation, initially founded in 2012 as the National Winter Sports Education Foundation, recently underwent a rebranding phase. “We fund youth learn to ski and snowboard programs across the country in Nordic skiing, Alpine skiing and snowboarding,” Beverley states.
Beverley’s career began as a Wall Street lawyer in 2008. After accepting a position with a prominent law firm, she was placed on the team that handled the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy case. “Part of what I had to do was learn how to learn things very, very fast and manage things I didn't understand,” she comments. “If I didn't understand them, I had to figure them out. That's actually what law school taught me. I went all in.” Eventually, Beverley transferred to Los Angeles.
Beverley made a decision to leave law after becoming severely ill. She knew that she couldn’t keep living the lifestyle she had. From working at the law firm she joined her friend who created an app. “I just jumped,” she laughs. “This is what snowboarders say. If you try to slow down before the cliff, you're going to get even more hurt.
