He had previously held the position from 2 June 1992 to 11 July 2006.[2] He founded and led the Concerned Citizens' Movement (CCM), now chaired by Stedmond Tross.[3] He was a West Indies cricketer who played for the Combined Islands and the Leeward Islands.[4] Prime Minister Amory also served as the Minister of Sports in the Nevis Island Administration.[4] The main airport in Nevis, The Vance W. Amory International Airport, bears his name. Prime Minister Amory was born in Rawlins Village.[1] He received his elementary, primary and secondary school education in Nevis.[1] He has been an active member of a local church in Nevis since childhood.[1] Amory was known for his fondness for the game of cricket.[1] He suffered injuries, including a broken nose; that caused him to be lifted off the cricket field.[1] Amory was known to excel academically, obtaining passes in 5 out of available 7 GCE 'O' level subjects at Charlestown Secondary School.[1] He subsequently achieved his ‘A' grade levels in St. Kitts, went on to University of the West Indies at Cave Hill Campus, Barbados, where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree.[1] Then he returned home to continue teaching students at Charlestown Secondary School in 1973.[1] Transferred to Gingerland Secondary School, Vance Amory, 1974–1977 and for 6 months during that period, took on the additional responsibility as acting headmaster while fulfilling his role as teacher, without additional compensation.[1] At age 28 he became the youngest headmaster of Charlestown Secondary School.[1] He took an institution that was lagging seriously behind and almost single-handedly restored acceptable grades and credibility.[1] The transition from GCE ‘O' levels to CXC and the newly introduced sports programs were among some of the challenges that he overcame, despite serious opposition from others.[1] He assisted greatly with the education improvement of thousands during his days as teacher and principal.[1] Mr. Amory then, between 1981 and 1983, had a short stint in banking as manager of the St. Kitts, Nevis and Anguilla National Bank, during which time he aided many individuals in obtaining well needed financing.[1] That Bank was relatively new on Nevis and had its early difficulties.[1] Nevis residents were very cautious in doing business with the institution and Amory set his mind to change this.[1] The bank thereafter experienced healthy financial growth.[1] He was also instrumental in overseeing the purchase of the land on which National Bank sits today.[1] Deciding to move forward in 1983, Amory applied for and successfully received a position in the finance department of the Nevis Island Government.[1] He was then promoted to Permanent Secretary in Finance, under the premiership of Dr. Simeon Daniel.[1] It was from that position that Mr. Amory learned the ins and outs of governance.[1] He decided to sacrifice himself for the betterment of Nevis and took study leave in September 1986 to further his education at University of the Virgin Islands, St. Croix campus.[1] He resigned his position in December of that year and reported that he wanted to dedicate himself for the betterment of Nevis.[1] During this time he organised a political party, the Concerned Citizens Movement.[1] Within 5 years, Nevis in 1992 he took off for new destinations and altitudes with determination to serve as Premier.[1] His transformation of the face of Nevis can be seen in many facets. He played a substantial role in securing the funding for the construction of the airport.[1] There were numerous regulatory obstacles strewn in path of the airport development and numerous delays by the Basseterre Government (in Saint Kitts) in extending a loan guarantee.[1] His commitment to the successful completion of the project is one reason that the airport bears his name.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 {{dead link|date=February 2018}} {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{s-bef|before=Simeon Daniel}}{{s-ttl|title=Premier of Nevis|years=1992–2006}}{{s-aft|after=Joseph Parry}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://rulers.org/indexa3.html|title=Index Am-Aq|publisher=|accessdate=31 August 2016}} 3. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.gov.kn/ct.asp?xItem=480&ctNode=61&mp=1 |title=Archived copy |access-date=15 March 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721203130/http://www.gov.kn/ct.asp?xItem=480&ctNode=61&mp=1 |archive-date=21 July 2011 |dead-url=yes |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^1 {{Cite web |url=http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/cgi-script/csArticles/articles/000000/000066.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=15 March 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080501164526/http://www.caribbeannetnews.com/cgi-script/csArticles/articles/000000/000066.htm |archive-date=1 May 2008 |dead-url=yes |df=dmy-all }} 5. ^https://www.nevispages.com/premier-brantley-thanks-republic-of-china-taiwan-for-generous-support |-{{s-bef|before=Joseph Parry}}{{s-ttl|title=Premier of Nevis|years=2013–2017}}{{s-aft|after=Mark Brantley}}[5]{{s-end}}{{NevisPremiers}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Amory, Vance}} 10 : 1949 births|Living people|Premiers of Nevis|Saint Kitts and Nevis sportsperson-politicians|University of the West Indies alumni|Nevisian cricketers|Combined Islands cricketers|Leeward Islands cricketers|People from Saint George Gingerland Parish|Concerned Citizens' Movement politicians |
