The Texas Medical Association Insurance Trust (TMAIT) has more than 35 years of professional experience at the helm with the hiring of its new executive director, Guy Patterson, certified employee benefit specialist, from Pennsylvania.
Mr. Patterson assumed the role on June 6. He comes to TMAIT with a background that includes leadership roles in insurance brokerage firms, insurance companies, and professional associations. He most recently served as vice president and managing director of account management for AGIA, an insurance broker and administrator. Previously he was vice president of USI Affinity, an insurance broker and consultant. He also oversaw benefits programs for the Pennsylvania Builders Association, and his more than three decades of experience also includes work for insurers.
“Mr. Patterson has a long and impressive history working in the association insurance industry,” said Wendy Parnell, MD, chair of the TMAIT board. “With his enthusiasm, expertise, and leadership, I am sure TMAIT will continue to be an award-winning organization. We are so happy to welcome him to the TMAIT family.”
TMAIT is an insurance provider created by TMA in 1955 for its members. The organization offers health, life, disability, auto, home, and medical practice insurance products to TMA members. Mr. Patterson said he looks forward to helping TMAIT build on its “excellent reputation of serving the life and health insurance needs of physicians in Texas.”
Michael Darrouzet, TMA’s executive vice president and chief executive officer, added Mr. Patterson “recognizes the importance of the relationship between TMA and TMAIT that has existed for many decades. We will do all we can to welcome him to Texas.”
Mr. Patterson’s appointment filled the vacancy created when James Prescott retired in December 2021 after eight years of leading TMAIT and 30 years with the organization.
