The Phi Delta Chi Fraternity first offered the Leader Development Seminar in 1989 as part of Grand Council in Monterey, California.  Since that time, hundreds of collegiate brothers have participated in an ever evolving curriculum, designed to meet the needs of leaders for contemporary pharmacy practice. The seminar permits participants to explore topics for individual development and building teams.

Returning LDS participants can look forward to an integrated track designed to continue skill development. Advanced Participant attendees can gain hands-on experience, feedback on leadership from facilitators and develop relationships with prospective mentors.

Moreover, there will be opportunities to reunite with Brothers, discuss chapter happenings, meet with regional and national officers and meet Brothers currently unknown to you.

Phi Delta Chi will also host its annual award program to name the 2008 Thurston Cup winner along with the other award recipients.
