The DV Chapter Leadership Committee was formed in 1997 in response to a clubwide initiative to have chapters take a more active role in establishing leadership standards and providing instruction for chapter members in how to successfully lead outdoor activities. This group has sponsored an annual Leadership Training Weekend each spring ever since, originally at the Mohican Outdoor Center, and since 2002 at the Nockamixon State Park Education Center. Since 2019, the program has expanded under Leadership Chair Jeff Fritzinger to include new and innovative online options connected with clubwide leadership initiatives.
