Lauren Beauregard – Executive Director

Lauren Beauregard’s journey with CLOVES Syndrome Community began in 2015, sparked by her daughter Kiki’s diagnosis. She has been involved with the community since then, notably contributing on the Family Advisory Council since early 2020 before becoming the organization’s Executive Director in 2024.

Lauren’s prior career in program management has granted her extensive experience in community engagement, team leadership, and project coordination, which she leverages daily in spearheading CLOVES Syndrome Community’s mission to improve the lives of those affected by this rare condition.

Finally, Lauren is the author of Four Leaf Clovers, a children’s book about living with physical differences, created in coordination with CLOVES Syndrome Community. She also contributed to Meet the PROS, a collaborative advocacy publication for children 8-12, funded by Novartis.
