The resolution recounts his career highlights, including performances across the Caribbean, North America, and Europe, his work as an actor, writer, and executive producer on the film Soca Prison, and multiple Soca Monarch and Road March titles. The House directs its Clerk to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to George as a keepsake honoring his achievements.
