The UNSY Awards celebrate Tallahassee’s unsung heroes. These are often the least recognized among us who can be considered to be the greatest among us in all that they contribute. The UNSY recognizes the contributions of those in the Tallahassee community who work behind the scenes to encourage, instruct, protect, and provide for others with tireless determination, and a cooperative spirit.
Join us for our UNSY Awards presentation banquet on April 12 at the TNL Performing Arts Center from 6:00 to 10:00 pm!
“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 good work, or has performed some heroic deed or function. 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.
