Annual Dinner

Each year at this special event, Scenic Houston recognizes a community leader who has played a vital role in improving Houston’s appearance and image.

Walt M. Mischer, Jr. has spent his life fully vested in the vitality of the Houston region. Demonstrating his commitment to quality of life, Walt has devoted his career to developing livable communities and assuring access to healthcare services. Walt has supported Scenic Houston’s mission and spent countless hours leading economic development, transportation advocacy and education efforts that enhance Houston’s reputation as a vibrant community for residents and visitors. For shaping communities and enriching lives, Scenic Houston is proud to recognize Walt Mischer with its 2018 Scenic Visionary award.

Paul D. Chapman, a stalwart supporter of Scenic Houston, longtime member of its board of directors, and former chairman, was a man who lived “a life in full,” demonstrating undeniable love for his family, his friends, his alma maters, his hometown. Committed to “Houston Strong” long before it became a post-Hurricane Harvey slogan, Paul always understood that attention to distinctive, highly functional streetscapes and public spaces, in communities all across Houston, are what build a strong, dynamic city. Paul was dedicated to Scenic Houston because its mission perfectly aligned with his commitment to his Houston, his home. Scenic Houston gratefully remembers Paul D. Chapman as its Scenic Hero.
