It’s nice and I’m sure appreciated if genuine

Not awkward if it's genuine....but don't get anyone in trouble by saying "thanks for supporting me looking above and beyond my role and organization" if you left for another org....

I’d just say thanks to my team or whatever and call/email the managers to thank them

Not awkward imo

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
