DART Board Director Spotlight – Enrique MacGregor

Enrique A MacGregor - DART Board of Directors
Posted on Jan 27, 2025 by DART President & CEO Nadine S. Lee, Leading Mobility newsletter

Enrique A. MacGregor was appointed to the DART Board of Directors in 2023 by the city councils of Cockrell Hill and Dallas to represent both cities as a joint seat. He is currently vice chair of the Administration Subcommittee and a member of the Operations Committee. Previously, he served as vice chair of the Board Administrator Search committee and as a member of the DART Board Bylaws and Board Rules of Procedure committee.

In addition to his contributions to DART, Enrique is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Dallas Zoo, a former member of the Dallas 2024 Bond Package Critical Facilities Committee, and a member of the City of Dallas Zoning Ordinance Advisory Committee. He served The City Plan Commission representing District 1 for 3 years. His past board memberships include the Resource Center, the US-Mexico Chamber of Commerce Southwest Chapter, and the Dallas Council on World Affairs, among others. In 2001 he was selected for a fellowship by the prestigious German Memorial Marshal Fund.

In 2001 Enrique co-founded the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Dallas with his husband Mark, and he served as its President until he stepped down in 2009. Enrique and Mark were both reelected to the GLFD Board in 2023. For their work in creating GLFD, Enrique and Mark were recognized by SMU with its Triumph of the Spirit Award in 2021.

When I asked Enrique why he serves on the DART Board, he replied,

“Growing up in Mexico City, I started riding public buses and subways in 7th grade. From those years, I know instinctively that public transit is at the heart of any urban plan. It affects many aspects of residents’ quality of life, and it plays an essential role in the regional economy. I’m especially drawn to the role that transit plays in advancing social justice. I would love to see the day when people in DART’s service area can choose to forgo car ownership.”

Professionally, Enrique is the group managing partner of Alternus Group, LLC, a business consulting firm specializing in transfer pricing. Recently he was chosen as one of only 20 key tax advisers by readers of the International Tax Review. Prior to running his firm, Enrique’s prior employers were KPMG, Deloitte, Grant Thornton, and Alvarez & Marsal.

Enrique holds a Bachelor of Science from Texas A&M University and a Master of Business Administration from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.

Thank you, Enrique, for being a vocal advocate for DART and for supporting the agency as a major regional investment that benefits the economy and quality of life in the Dallas area.
