 HONORING GEORGE LITTLE FOR HIS SERVICE TO SANDHILLS COMMUNITY COLLEGE 
                     AND THE PEOPLE OF MOORE COUNTY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 22, 2023

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor George Little for his 
great service to Sandhills Community College (SCC) and to thank him for 
serving as Chairman of SCC's Board of Trustees.
  Earlier this month, George announced that he was stepping down as 
Chairman of the SCC Board of Trustees, a role he has served in for 
almost four decades. George became board chair in 1985 and under his 
leadership both the college and our community at large have grown 
tremendously. When George became Chairman, SCC was still a small, 
growing institution. However, George saw its potential as an academic 
institution and development driver. During his tenure, SCC has risen to 
become an academic powerhouse and established an endowment of over $50 
million, a sum unheard of at the community college level.
  George is a nationally recognized academic leader, great American and 
dear friend. While he will continue to serve on the college's board, I 
certainly know he will be missed at the helm. That being said, I know 
he will continue to serve with vigor and have full faith that his 
chosen successor, Larry Caddell, will be able to carry on George's 
great work.
  George's dedication to service and constant willingness to step up 
when needed is commendable and inspiring. It has been an honor serving 
the people of Moore County alongside him.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me today in recognizing George Little for 
his service to our community and the great state of North Carolina.
