I've actually thought of having a big dinner for all of the managers I've had over the years that were helpful in getting me to where I am today.

That being said, even a handwritten note or phone call to say "I just wanted to say that at X time in my life, you did Y and it was amazing at the time and helped me get to where I am now" goes a LONG way.

I'd do separate one on ones. A big one gives off main character vibes.

Part of the idea is to have them meet each other since they are all fascinating.

(and some of it is, I confess, main character energy)

A handwritten note can be pinned to a cubicle or tucked into a book or whatever. It's tangible, and there's a role for that, and this is it.
