NAMI Trustee Louise Mehrotra honored by Princeton YWCA

NAMI Board member Louise Mehrotra, Princeton Junction, was one of eight women chosen as honorees at this year’s YWCA Princeton "Tribute to Women" awards dinner at the Hyatt Regency Princeton on May 8.

Louise Mehrotra joined the NAMI Mercer Board of Trustees in 2002. She is vice president of finance for Janssen Pharmaceutica, Titusville, and manages all company operating budgets and more than 50 employees engaged in providing financial support to Janssen’s $2.3 billion U.S. business. She pioneered new and innovative work and family initiatives through the establishment of multiple alternate work arrangements, resulting in the retaining of women in the Janssen work force while allowing them to balance work and family.

Louise is a visiting lecturer at The College of New Jersey, and volunteers in the Mercer County Community College Bridge to Employment program. A graduate of Sir Sandford Fleming College in Peterborough, Ontario, she has lived in the United States since 1995. She and her husband, André Van Hoek, have three children.
