Reid Amos Set to Serve as President of Division II Conference Commissioners Association in 2024-25
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Mountain East Conference Commissioner Reid Amos will ascend to serve as President of the NCAA Division II Conference Commissioner Association (D2 CCA) for the 2024-25 membership year.
Amos was voted by his peers to serve as the second Vice President in 2023-24. Following the retirement of the 1st Vice President and Great Northwest Athletic Conference Commissioner Dave Haglund, Amos assumes the role of president a year sooner than initially planned.
Commissioner Will Prewitt will serve as 1st Vice President (Great American Conference), Kris Dunbar as 2nd Vice President (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference), and Jay Poerner (Lone Star Conference) will transition to Past President. They will join Amos on the D2 CCA Executive Board in 2024-25.
"I am honored to have been selected to serve as President of the D2 Conference Commissioner's Association," Amos said. "It is a crucial time in the history of NCAA Division II athletics, and I look forward to serving our exceptional group of colleagues in this role as we collectively work to provide leadership in addressing the many critical issues we are navigating in collegiate athletics. During this period of significant change in higher education and the collegiate athletics landscape, we remain committed to supporting our student-athletes as our institutions provide them with valuable educational and athletic opportunities."
In addition to his duties as the MEC’s commissioner, Amos has consistently played a leading role within NCAA Division II sport and governance committees. He has served as chair of the NCAA Division II Football and Men's Golf committees and recently concluded a four-year term, including the final two as the chair of the NCAA Division II Championships Committee. Prior to his appointment as 2nd Vice President in 2023-24, Amos had been active within D2 CCA as Chair of the Sport Administration and External Relations committees. He is additionally a member of the Conference Commissioner’s Officiating Steering Committee, which serves all three divisions.
Amos enters his 12th year as the Commissioner of the MEC this fall. Under his leadership, the MEC has expanded its championship offerings from 16 to 23 sports. Conference teams have excelled both regionally and nationally, winning six national championships and 47 regional titles. Amos has also led efforts to bring NCAA championship events inside the league’s footprint, as the MEC has hosted multiple national championships for softball, women’s lacrosse, and men’s golf.
