Nannette Amador was born in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and moved to Oklahoma City when she was twelve.  She was graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond, with a BAE in English Education.  She taught secondary school for two years and managed a business before attending law school at Oklahoma City University.  Nanette practiced law in Oklahoma, worked for the Oklahoma Senate as a Bill Drafter, and served as an Assistant District Attorney before moving to Austin, Texas to work for the Texas Youth Commission as a staff attorney and hearing officer who decided if the probation of a juvenile should be revoked and he or she be incarcerated.

    Presently, Nannette is employed as an Administrative Law judge for the Texas Workers' Compensation Commission, a position she has held since 1992.  Nanette's daughter, Victoria Amador, is a Pre-Juvenile skater who is ten years old and a fifth grade student at Keystone School.

    Nannettte envisions that the SAFSC should be very active in supporting its skaters.  She would like for the Club to sponsor training seminars in skating, dance, gymnastics, and theater to assist skaters to develop presentation skills for competitions.  Not only should the Club sponsor more social activities, she believes it should investigate the possibilities of presenting a skating show to promote its skaters locally.  This in conjunction with applying for and being granted charitable status with the IRS, could go a long way toward getting local support and donations to purchase ice time for the Club and financial support for its members going to other cities and states to compete.  Ultimately, she would like for every skating competitor to have at least one private sponsor, who, for a tax deduction, helps defray the costs of coaching fees, ice time, costumes, competition entry fees, and travel costs.

    The Club, she believes, should try to work more closely with the USFSA.  With the great hotel accommodation, the ambiance of the River Walk and proximity of the Alamodome, she feels that the USFSA might be interested in having its national meeting in San Antonio.  Moreover, San Antonio would be a great place to host a large competition such as Skate America.

    Nannette admits that her ideas might sound grandiose, but other clubs around the nation have accomplished similar feats, and she believes that if Club members work together for the good of all of the members, positive things will result.
