The son of a career politician, the late Honourable Ernest Emmanuel Williams, Sir Rodney followed in his father\u2019s footsteps and served as a Member of Parliament in Antigua and Barbuda.\u00a0 He was appointed as Minister of Government in various ministries, holding the portfolios of Tourism, Education, Culture, Technology, Economic Development, Environment, Sports, Youth and Community Development over a twenty-year period. He also served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and as Advisor to the Prime Minister.<\/p>

 <\/p>\n

In addition to his political career, Sir Rodney committed his life\u2019s work to service in the medical field. He was a District Medical Officer for several years, lectured pro bono to nurses at the Holberton Hospital, \u00a0supervised the first batch of nurse practitioners in Antigua and Barbuda, and provided medical services in Codrington, Barbuda. Sir Rodney gave lectures on exercise, fitness and health for a number of years on local television and radio, and wrote articles on this topic.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After graduating with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) in 1976, Sir Rodney spent four decades of his professional life as a medical doctor in Family Medicine with specialisation in Aviation and Sport Medicine. From 1979 to present he has represented Antigua and Barbuda in a medical capacity in several high-level\u00a0 sporting events and conferences including CARIFTA, IAAF, Pan Am and the Olympic Games. He held the post of President of the National Olympic Committee for four years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2014, Sir Rodney Williams was appointed Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda. In the same year he was honoured with two knighthood appointments by Her Majesty the Queen \u2013 Knight Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George<\/em> and Knight of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem<\/em>. In 2019, he was given the Freedom to the City of London.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sir Rodney was named Patron of the Commonwealth Heritage Forum (UK) \u00a0and Trustee of the London-based West India Committee in 2020. He has also been a Patron of UWI\u2019s Global Giving programme since its inception and named the most outstanding Patron for 2020. Additionally, he was the recipient of the University of the West Indies Alumni Association\u2019s prestigious Pelican Award in that same year. Together with his wife, HE Lady Williams, Sir Rodney is Patron of more than 30 non-profit organisations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In his acceptance speech and charge to the 2020 graduating class, Sir Rodney expressed appreciation to UWI for the institution\u2019s recognition of his contribution to society, and congratulated his fellow honorary gradates on their achievements. He proceeded to impart practical advice to the UWI students, emphasizing that \u201cmulti-skill development is a necessity in today\u2019s complex social and economic environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sir Rodney Williams received another honorary doctorate from the St. Mary\u2019s College of Maryland, USA (2019) for national service and a Professorship from the Kazakh-Russian Medical University and the Government of Kazakhstan (2019) for his work in Sports Medicine.<\/p>\n
