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.

Lily Johnson dives in to her involvement in the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the role she played with some of the legislative items in college athletics and she discusses her life after college and her post-graduate work. She details a very interesting stretch of time for her as she plans for the future. And we also discuss what role volleyball has in her life at this point. 

In this episode, Lily Johnson discusses about her high school volleyball career, the recruiting process -- which was very interesting -- and her time at Missouri State -- on the court and in the classroom.

Welcome to Persons of Interest. My name is Derrick Docket and in this podcast, it is my goal to introduce you to people from various walks of life -- business, education, sports and more. Interesting people doing interesting things. Unique careers, backgrounds, and perspectives. I want to share their stories and experiences because we all have different paths and define success in different ways. 

The plan is to have some fun with this project and I hope you’ll enjoy the stories and conversations I have with each guest.
