Invite The Governor General

Invitations

In fulfilling her social and traditional roles, the Governor-General and her husband attend many public functions during each calendar year on the invitation of individuals, community, and civic groups or organisations. 

Invitations to Her Excellency for such events must be submitted in writing before the event and must include the following information: 

• Background information on the event and/or individual, group, or organisation. 
• Date and time of the event and whether these are flexible 
• Venue 
• The role you would wish the Governor-General to play, if any, such as speech delivery, presentation of awards, or special guest 
• Expected number of participants/attendees 
• Name, postal address, email address, and telephone number of the contact person(s)

The letter of invitation, together with a printed invitation card, should be sent by post or by email to: Belize House, Belmopan; P.O. Box 173; or govgenbz@btl.net. 

Invitations are to be addressed to “Their Excellencies The Governor General and Mr. Daniel Mendez” in cases where the Governor-General and spouse are being invited to attend the function. 

It is recommended that invitations be submitted at least two weeks in advance. The Office of the Governor-General will respond in writing indicating whether or not the invitation is accepted. Should the response be positive, the Aide-de-Camp to the Governor-General will discuss all matters relating to the courtesies that are expected to be extended to the Governor-General at the event. 

Invitations submitted on a printed card only will not be considered, except for those sent to Her Excellency by their families and close friends. 

The Governor-General and her husband should not be invited to adjudicate competitions or to assist in selling tickets for charity or raffles.
