Benjamin Spann was the former Director of the Unclaimed Property Division for the Louisiana Department of the Treasury. Mr. Spann retired effective June 23, 2012. My Spann has been recently hired, but has not began his first day of work, with a company that has a contract with the Department of Treasury to provide unclaimed property auditing services. A stipulation of his employment is that Mr. Spann will not have any contact, either directly or indirectly, with his former agency for a period of two years. The company has another employee who is responsible for all matters concerning the Louisiana Department of Treasury.
