We are pleased to announce that Brian Carpenter, DPM, FACFAS has been selected as Executive Director of the Texas Podiatric Medical Association. His experience and credentials in Podiatric Medicine are a great match for what our association needs to meet the challenges which await us in the future.

Upon accepting the position, Dr Carpenter noted, “Continuing to expand our membership, and the leadership development opportunities we offer members as they advance in their careers, will truly create a powerful force for the field and for social change. I am looking forward to building on the great foundation that has been developed over the last several decades by Don Canada, we all owe him so much. TPMA has a bright future because of Don.”
