Newly Rebranded Hubert Pipersburgh Diaspora Help Desk

Wed, 31st March 2021


The Belize City Council is pleased to announce the newly rebranded Hubert Pipersburgh Diaspora Help Desk available on our website. In Honour of the late Hubert Pipersburgh, our former Manager for Local Economic Development until his untimely passing in 2020, we have upgraded our Help Desk to include a number of new functions and features available to the Belizean Diaspora Community.
Mr. Pipersburgh continuously worked toward setting up a Help Desk to improve communications between the Belize City Council and members of the Belizean Diaspora for the purpose of mutual support and assistance. Thanks to these efforts, we now have a Help Desk that provides services in key areas such as: Property, Business Development, Investments, Transport and Sister City Relations.
The page will also feature Diaspora Belizeans who have made contributions to their country each year. Six awards will be granted, four quarterly awards, one youth Award and one Diaspora of the Year award known as the Hubert Pipersburgh Diaspora of the Year Award to highlight the generous contributions made by our Belizean family members living abroad.
There will also be a registration feature for lead generation which will allow the Council to capture valuable contact data and afford Diasporans the opportunity to win annual prizes leading up to a grand prize draw for a 5-night Belizean Vacation. Our Help Desk is also currently improving our contact functions through the implementation of Diaspora Liaison Officers in various locations such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Houston and New York.
All these advancements would not be possible without the vision of our friend and colleague, Hubert Pipersburgh. We continue to foster his objectives to fortify the relationships between Belizeans living at home and abroad, and we encourage our Belizean Diaspora members to visit the link below and see how you can benefit from these new services.
