Go Wide
Contact former colleagues, clients, partners, and anyone they've worked with over the years. Cast a wide net for maximum impact.
Share Stories
Encourage specific anecdotes, funny moments, and lessons learned. Personal stories make the card memorable and meaningful.
Make It Grand
Present the card during a retirement party or special ceremony. Consider coordinating with other retirement gifts and celebrations.
