# Adam Slayton Director of Operations, State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF). Email [email protected]. In the materials Slayton handled SFOF event logistics for Milligan's 4/24/2025 speech at the SFOF 2025 Spring National Meeting. He confirmed to Wendy Spadoni on 4/14/2025 that Milligan would speak at 10:45 AM Thursday, April 24th. Spadoni asked Slayton on 5/2/2025 for the speech video; Slayton replied 5/6 that he was still "working on getting it over to you" and provided the video link on 5/12/2025. Slayton's role at SFOF appears to be event operations and content distribution. He is a separate functional area from CEO OJ Oleka (organizational leadership), EVP Noah Wall (policy and government affairs), and Ryan Chavers. ## Peterson custodian production additions The Peterson custodian production ([[auditor-foia-r2-stacy-peterson]]) adds three findings about Slayton's role. First, **Slayton coordinated the SFOF Spring speech preparation directly with Peterson**. Peterson emailed Slayton on 3/10/2025 (cc Spadoni) under subject "Auditor Milligan to Speak at SFOF": "Wendy has let me know that she has confirmed Auditor Milligan will be speaking on Thursday morning during SFOF's spring conference. I'll be preparing his speech and have a couple of questions: First, I wanted to confirm what you meant by 'member story' in your original conversation with Wendy... Second, I was asked to check whether you all would be recording the speech at the conference and whether we would be able to get a copy afterward." The "member story" framing Slayton had originally proposed to Spadoni is referenced; the substantive content of the framing is not fully documented in this exchange. Slayton subsequently coordinated the post-event speech-video retrieval Peterson followed up on 4/30/2025. Second, **Slayton functions as a state-financial-officer-to-state-financial-officer broker**. When Peterson asked Slayton on 2/14/2025 for a SFOF speaker for Milligan's Little Rock radio show, Slayton connected her to Indiana State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla via her Communications Director Emily Boesen ([email protected]): "We think Comptroller Elise Nieshalla from Indiana would be a great guest for the show. I've copied her communications director, Emily Boesen, in this email." SFOF therefore acts as a state-financial-officer-to-state-financial-officer radio booking broker through the Communications Directors of member offices. Third, **Slayton handled the SFOF Spring National Meeting reimbursement policy** (documented in the chunk 3 Milligan SFOF folder finding at [[sfof-policy-letter-operation]]). His operational role spans speaker coordination, video distribution, member-state introductions, and expense reimbursement. ## Evidence > "Auditor Milligan will be speaking starting at 10:45 am on Thursday, April 24th." > Adam Slayton to Wendy Spadoni, FW Auditor Milligan - Presentation Time.pdf p.1, 4/14/2025 2:08 PM > "Please find the link to Auditor Milligan's speech HERE." > Adam Slayton to Wendy Spadoni, FW Auditor Milligan_s Speech.pdf p.1, 5/12/2025 3:14 PM > "Adam Slayton / Director of Operations / State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF)" > Slayton signature, FW Auditor Milligan - Presentation Time.pdf p.1 ## Cross-References [[sfof]] [[oj-oleka]] [[noah-wall]] SFOF colleagues [[dennis-milligan]] speaker Slayton handled [[wendy-spadoni]] [[jason-brady]] Auditor's-office contacts [[sfof-state-financial-officer-network]] concept page [[stacy-peterson]] Director of Communications Slayton coordinated SFOF Spring speech preparation and member-state introductions with [[auditor-foia-r2-jbrady]] [[auditor-foia-r2-stacy-peterson]] source pages
