This four-session (full days) series is an extension to the original MDP offered in 2017. Participants in this series are not required to have completed MDP.

The program has eight monthly sessions, each centered around a unique theme. As part of the opening session, Leadership Fairfield participants went on a Scavenger Hunt at local businesses around Fairfield. Their goal was to find a specific item in the store and to meet the owner and employees.
"The Leadership Scavenger Hunt was a huge hit. All participants enjoyed exploring and learning about the businesses." - Chelsey Haynes, Event Coordinator, Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce
