You taught me more in my first year than school did in four. Thank you, sir.

An example board, yours fills up with real messages.
A retirement caps off years, sometimes decades, of working alongside people, which is a lot more than a single farewell party can properly hold. A retirement board lets current colleagues, former teammates, and people who've since moved on all add their own reflection, without needing to coordinate a reunion to do it.
Create the board ahead of the retirement date and share it widely, including with people who've left the company but overlapped with the retiree at some point. The result is often a much fuller picture of someone's career than any single speech could cover.
What to write
A specific story from working together outlasts a generic "congrats on retirement."
If they mentored you, say what you carried forward from it.
It's a good place to note the arc of their career, if you've watched it happen.
Encourage people from earlier chapters of their career to contribute, not just recent colleagues.
Frequently asked questions
- Can former employees who've left the company post here?
- Yes, anyone with the link can contribute, regardless of whether they still work there.
- Can this be presented at a retirement party?
- Yes, slideshow mode plays the board fullscreen, which works well at an in-person gathering.
- How far back can we invite people from?
- As far back as you'd like, there's no limit on how many people can be invited or how long the board stays open.
- Can we print it out afterward?
- A print/keepsake export isn't available yet, but the board itself stays live and accessible indefinitely.
