By Zoila Palma Gonzalez:  On September 13, 2023, the Government of Belize honored 25 distinguished persons at this year’s Tribute to Belizean Patriots ceremony.

Eliza Arnold was honored with Meritorious Award for contributions to Sports.

Arnold was born on April 23rd, 1939 in what is now known as the ‘Otro Benque’ of the Orange Walk District.

She has spent most of her life as a stalwart figure on Turton Lane, Belize City.

There, with her late husband — Winfield Andrew Arnold — she raised six children.

Eliza is an avid sports fan, and her dedication to sports and sport development has been seen most in volleyball. Her contributions to the development of volleyball in Belize have been invaluable, with her long-standing involvement in the sport starting in a time when volleyball was in its early stages in the country.

Through her consistent support for fundraisers, educational events, and games, as well as her encouragement of her own family members to volunteer and participate, she has demonstrated her leadership by example.

Arnold has worked tirelessly behind the scenes and has played a vital role in the growth and success of sports.

Her presence and involvement in the volleyball community have undoubtedly left a lasting and positive impact, contributing to the sport’s development and helping shape future generations of athletes and enthusiasts.
