Grabenstein Leadership Award

This award was established in 1996 to reward chapters for excelling in leadership activities on the chapter level. With the development of programs at the Leader-Development Seminars and Grand Councils, the Fraternity recognized the need to equally reward scholarship and leadership excellence in fulfilling our mission to produce Leaders in Pharmacy. At the 65th Grand Council in San Antonio, Texas, the Executive Council announced their decision to rename this award after Past Grand President, Beta Gamma Brother John D. Grabenstein, in honor of his service and dedication over nearly the last three decades. He has been an example for all Brothers to follow and his commitment to the promotion of leadership has been an inspiration and invaluable asset to the world of pharmacy, his country, and to Phi Delta Chi. This LDS program, originally written by John, has evolved into the seminar as it was presented in Ann Arbor in the summer of 2006. Chapters submit a written report as part of the Achievement Award Program, and these are judged by five past LDS facilitators or coordinators using these criteria: chapter programs promoting Leader-Development and excellence, chapter recognition of Leader-Development and excellence, outcomes of Leader-Development as evidenced by such activities as Brothers’ involvement in school and community organizations, written presentation of the report.
