Michael J. Darrouzet, the longtime chief executive of the Dallas County Medical Society, will be the Texas Medical Association’s (TMA’s) next executive vice president and CEO, TMA Board of Trustees Chair E. Linda Villarreal, M.D., announced in June.

When he begins his new position on Sept. 1, Darrouzet will become just the fourth executive vice president in TMA’s 166-year history. His predecessor, Louis J. Goodman, Ph.D., who is retiring this year, has managed the association since 1997.

He is the former president and chairman of the board of the North Texas Accountable Healthcare Partnership, and currently serves on the board of directors of the Parkland Foundation and the Southwest Transplant Foundation.
