In 2024-25, he ascended to serve as the President of the NCAA Division II Conference Commissioner Association (D2CCA) for this membership year. He previously served as the Vice President in 2023-24 and, following the retirement of 1st Vice President and Great Northwest Athletic Conference Commissioner Dave Haglund, he assumed the role of President a year earlier than planned.

In addition to his service with the D2CAA, Amos 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.

Under Amos’ 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.
