Jim Porter’s legacy

Bellaire resident Kay Porter is honoring her husband Jim’s legacy by supporting Memorial Park Conservancy. Jim served as Memorial Park Conservancy’s (MPC) board chair from 2012 until 2015. He helped deliver the the park’s 2015 master plan, build the board and staff, make partnerships, and lay the foundation for the conservancy to take over Memorial Park’s care and day-to-day operations. The Jim Porter Conservation Internship will fund a student or researcher each summer to advance MPC’s conservation efforts – see memorialparkconservancy.org to apply. City leaders named Jan. 9 “Jim Porter Day” in Houston.
