Treasurer Adam Layne was appointed in April of 2021 to succeed the
\nformer Treasurer, Tishaura O. Jones, after she won a historic election as
\nSt. Louis\u2019 first Black Woman to be Mayor. A familiar name, many came to
\nknow Treasurer Layne from his service as the Deputy Chief of Staff for
\nthe City of St. Louis Treasurer\u2019s Office. Layne proved to be an especially
\nvalued asset amidst the economic challenges of the pandemic as he
\nworked tirelessly throughout 2020 to improve systems and deepen
\ncommunity engagement with the work of the STLTO. One of his most
\nnotable efforts include his leadership and launch of the Parking and
\nTowing Assistance Program (PTAP), a program that creates payment
\nplans for St. Louisans allowing them to freeze their parking fees, pay off
\ntheir balances in smaller amounts, and eliminate their financial burden
\nwithout getting their cars booted or towed.<\/p>\n

Treasurer Layne joined the STLTO as an experienced elected official as
\nhe finished first in his 2019 race for the St. Louis Public School (SLPS)
\nBoard. While serving on board, Treasurer Layne advocated relentlessly
\nfor every school to be a quality school, while always centering equity and
\nseeking to dismantle historically oppressive systems. One of his greatest
\nsuccesses was creating and chairing the Standing Committee on Budget
\nEquity & Transparency.<\/p>\n

Having established his professional career in 2011 as a SLPS high school
\nmath teacher, Treasurer Layne went on to develop, lead, and direct the
\nhigh school support and college access program at InspireSTL (2017),
\nwhere he was later sought out as an independent consultant to develop,
\ndesign, and implement curriculum and diversity training for organizations
\nin St. Louis and across the nation. An avid writer, he launched his own
\nnonprofit program, The Young Griot Society, which seeks to increase
\nyouth literacy through their love for creative writing. In 2019, he joined
\nWashington University as a research associate, supporting the launch of
\nthe Academy for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, and is a perennial
\nfacilitator for the Aspen Young Leaders Fellowship.<\/p>\n

Treasurer Layne earned his Bachelor of Business Administration in
\nFinance from George Washington University, and went on to earn a
\nMaster of Education from the University Missouri-St Louis. Before moving
\nto St. Louis, Treasurer Layne worked directly in the financial industry,
\nspending time with Edward Jones and as an associate for a private equity
\nfirm in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
