No, the Fairley Program is a community leadership Program. Participants undertake a year long program where they primarily learn from existing leaders about the issues impacting on our region and the opportunities for positive change. Through their interaction with leaders at a local, state and national level the participants are exposed to the ethics and values, personal attributes and individual styles of the leaders

Fairley Leadership is very much a hands-on leadership experience with little time spent learning about or comparing academic theories.
