since September 1986 when he became its president. Two years later, he was
appointed as TALX’s chairman of the board. TALX was acquired by Equifax in
May, 2007, at which time Canfield also became a member of the Equifax

Assuming
Canfield’s role is J. Dann Adams, currently President of U.S. Consumer
Information Solutions (USCIS). Adams, who has been with Equifax since
1999, will relocate to St. Louis where the TALX unit is headquartered.
During his tenure with Equifax, Adams has held a number of senior sales
leadership roles in its core consumer division and was one of the primary
architects of what subsequently become Equifax’s North America Commercial
division. Through Adams’ leadership, the company also successfully
launched its rapidly growing Equifax Settlement Services and Capital
Markets divisions.
