The staff of President’s House warmly welcomed the awardees, their guests, and the many distinguished dignitaries who gathered to honor 62 of the 65 awardees recognized for their outstanding contributions across various fields. Unfortunately, three awardees were unable to attend.

Guests were greeted by a vibrant display of culture with performances from the Fatima College Drumming Ensemble, the NGC Trinidad and Tobago Sweet Tassa band from Princes Town, and the Chinese Art and Culture Studies Society, who performed a dragon dance.
