The UNSY Awards celebrate Tallahassee’s unsung heroes. These are the people who are often the least recognized among us, who may be considered the greatest for all that they contribute. The UNSY recognizes their contributions across the Tallahassee community as they work behind the scenes with tireless determination and a cooperative spirit to encourage, instruct, protect, and provide for others.
Join us for our UNSY Awards presentation banquet coming in April!
“The most important person in our company is the one who puts the sauce on the dough.“
– Tom Monaghan, Founder of Dominio’s Pizza
As a popular idiom, the “unsung hero” is defined as someone who provides a great benefit to others, who has performed exceptionally well, or has done a heroic deed. Many times, they are the ones who put in countless hours with or without pay. They seek to ensure that those they serve will receive the greatest possible benefit and see to it that everything runs smoothly from beginning to end.
Rather than seeking power for themselves, they seek to empower others and help them achieve their own goals. They do this without any interest in public notoriety. In this way, they exemplify leadership in its true sense.
