EXECUTIVE: Lauren Hughey is the director of donor engagement at the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, a post she's held since August 2016. She's also a co-founder and an active executive with Pip & Grow, a Portland, Ore.-based company that manufactures the Smitten Sleep System — a bassinet box designed to reduce the risk of SIDS.
DIVERSION: A 10th generation Texan, Hughey is a global adventure traveler. She doesn't go on trips to do the adventures there, such as running with the bulls in Pamplona. Instead, Hughey, 35, travels for the passion of exploring. Paris and London, Geneva and Barcelona — she's been there, done that. Those places, while nice, says Hughey, can't compare to Istanbul or something like Gruda, Croatia, a tiny town with a population of 753 people on the Montenegro border.
