WHEN AND HOW TO RECOGNIZE
If a recognition takes the form of a pin, badge, certificate, or other tangible token, or is merely a formal thank-you, presentation at an appropriate ceremony can highlight the expression of appreciation and enhance its significance for the recipient. When and how the recipient is recognized will make the expression of gratitude memorable.
