About The Treasurer
The cornerstone Treasurer Adam L. Layne was cut from was
built on Transparency, Integrity, & Service. Set apart to serve,
his career experiences have been shaped by the most powerful
and influential stakeholders of our region…St. Louis children
and families.
Treasurer Adam Layne was appointed in April of 2021 to succeed the
former Treasurer, Tishaura O. Jones, after she won a historic election as
St. Louis’ first Black Woman to be Mayor. A familiar name, many came to
know Treasurer Layne from his service as the Deputy Chief of Staff for
the City of St. Louis Treasurer’s Office. Layne proved to be an especially
valued asset amidst the economic challenges of the pandemic as he
worked tirelessly throughout 2020 to improve systems and deepen
community engagement with the work of the STLTO. One of his most
notable efforts include his leadership and launch of the Parking and
Towing Assistance Program (PTAP), a program that creates payment
plans for St. Louisans allowing them to freeze their parking fees, pay off
their balances in smaller amounts, and eliminate their financial burden
without getting their cars booted or towed.
Treasurer Layne joined the STLTO as an experienced elected official as
he finished first in his 2019 race for the St. Louis Public School (SLPS)
Board. While serving on board, Treasurer Layne advocated relentlessly
for every school to be a quality school, while always centering equity and
seeking to dismantle historically oppressive systems. One of his greatest
successes was creating and chairing the Standing Committee on Budget
Equity & Transparency.
Having established his professional career in 2011 as a SLPS high school
math teacher, Treasurer Layne went on to develop, lead, and direct the
high school support and college access program at InspireSTL (2017),
where he was later sought out as an independent consultant to develop,
design, and implement curriculum and diversity training for organizations
in St. Louis and across the nation. An avid writer, he launched his own
nonprofit program, The Young Griot Society, which seeks to increase
youth literacy through their love for creative writing. In 2019, he joined
Washington University as a research associate, supporting the launch of
the Academy for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, and is a perennial
facilitator for the Aspen Young Leaders Fellowship.
Treasurer Layne earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in
Finance from George Washington University, and went on to earn a
Master of Education from the University Missouri-St Louis. Before moving
to St. Louis, Treasurer Layne worked directly in the financial industry,
spending time with Edward Jones and as an associate for a private equity
firm in Washington, DC.
