This nine-month program, running from September through May, offers participants an opportunity to engage deeply with the Fairfield and Fairfield Twp. communities while developing both personal and professional leadership skills.

Leadership Fairfield meets once a month, providing in-depth knowledge about the community. The program is designed to equip participants with advanced communication and leadership skills, with a focus on both personal and professional growth.

Program highlights:

  • Duration: September 2024 - May 2025
  • Sessions: Nine sessions and a recognition lunch

These experiences provide invaluable insights and foster meaningful connections among class members.
