vote of thanks
Official appreciation gesture
A vote of thanks is a formal expression of gratitude, typically delivered at the end of a meeting, ceremony, or event to acknowledge someone's contribution or service.
It may be proposed by one person and approved by the group, though in practice it often amounts to a brief speech of appreciation rather than an actual vote.
The chairman called for a vote of thanks to the outgoing treasurer.
