    Digitize and chuck archive the original.

    The digitized versions (e.g., digital photographs of older plaques) can then be displayed on a video screen in a rotating fashion if you still want to show off the long history of successes.

      Where are these displayed? Are they hung all over the place randomly, or in your office? I'd like to be able to visualize what you're talking about.

        Are the people honored still there? If not, out they go.

            I received my own block of wood from a previous place of employment. There was this minor presentation thing for the block of wood in which I thanked everybody.

            That afternoon I happened to have run over it with my car in the parking lot a couple times, totally by accident.

            Please love yourself.

              The personal ones go in the office or by the desk of the associate. The corporate/store go out in the showroom at several strategic points.

                  I think we should have a discussion about whether you deserved them in the first place …

                    You could re-hang them in unexpected places such as the bathroom. A friend of mine had a photo of his dad escorting Prince Charles around a factory hanging up in the downstairs toilet. It means you still get to boast about it, but you do it in an ironic fashion.

                    I was only joking

                        That reminds me...someone taped this on the inside of the door of one of the bathrooms at work.

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
