What We Do
Affirmative Action Assurance
Each vendor doing business with the City of Dayton must first acquire Affirmative Action Assurance (“AAA”) certification. This certification demonstrates the City of Dayton’s commitment to equitable hiring and business practices across all industries and sectors. While exemptions apply in limited circumstance, the majority of non-profits, community organizations, corporate entities, and other business structures fall into the category of vendors that require AAA Certification.
