"I am committed to bringing the full extent of my knowledge and experience to this challenge," Mehta said in an e-mailed news release from
Loretto. "This community deserves no less than my all, and I will give everything that I have to the residents of Chicago's West Side. I welcome this opportunity, and I greatly appreciate the warm welcome that the people of this neighborhood have extended to me."
She replaces Steven Drucker, who has served as CEO since 1995.
