The African American Male Top 10 Awards celebrate the achievements of 10 Greater Dayton Area African American Males who have contributed to the community through leadership and positive influence.

Since 1994, Parity Inc. has selected and recognized exceptional African American males in our community at the Top 10 African American Males Luncheon. Parity Inc.’s mission is to serve and advocate for socioeconomic equity within the African American Community through collaborations and partnerships. The Top 10 African American Male Luncheon aligns with this mission.

The purpose of this honor is to celebrate the accomplishments of African American males who stand tall as role models for the younger generation and the community. Since its inception, the honoree list has grown to over 280 African American males, continuing to serve as positive role models and men from all walks of life and professions.

Do you know of an African American male who has made tremendous contributions to their family, community, and/or profession(s)? If yes, Parity Inc. invites you to submit a nomination form by email. The nomination form is available on the Parity Inc. website at https://www.parityinc.info. The list of honorees will be revealed in December 2022.

If chosen, the honoree will convene with other Top 10 African American males, and their guest, at the recognition ceremony held Thursday, February 16th, 2023, at Sinclair Community College. More details will become available as the event draws near.
