Amy Huchthausen was named commissioner of the America East Conference back in September of 2011 and ever since then, the league has made some significant progress on several initiatives including digital content, multimedia rights, diversity and so much more.
Amy is the first woman to lead the America East and one of a handful of women to serve as commissioner of a division one conference. In this episode, she discusses her career prior to being named commissioner, the strategy behind several of the initiatives that they took on at the conference level, her work on earning her MBA, and of course, I had to ask her about that one time when America East member and number 16 seed UMBC took down number 1 seed Virginia in the 2018 NCAA tournament.
