Dear Alexis,
We are pleased to extend this Letter of Engagement to formalize our collaboration between the Indian
River County Stormwater Division and The Learning Alliance. This partnership aims to foster mutual
cooperation in promoting environmental stewardship and community education initiatives as we work
toward the Moonshot Goal for 90% of Indian River County children to read on grade level by the end
of 3rd grade.
Indian River County Stormwater Division is dedicated to the management and preservation of
stormwater resources to safeguard the environment and enhance the quality of life for residents. The
Learning Alliance shares a similar commitment to environmental education and advocacy, making it an
ideal partner for advancing our shared goals using our diverse ecosystem as a springboard to engage
students in reading.
Through this engagement, both parties agree to the following terms and conditions:
1. Scope of Collaboration: Indian River County Stormwater Division and Learning Alliance will
collaborate on various educational programs, workshops, and outreach events focused on envi-
ronmental conservation, stormwater management, and related topics.
2. Resource Sharing: Both parties agree to share relevant resources, expertise, and materials to
support the development and implementation of joint initiatives.
3. Promotion and Awareness: Indian River County Stormwater Division and The Learning Al-
liance will work together to promote events and activities through their respective communica-
tion channels, including websites, social media platforms, newsletters, and community outreach
efforts.
4. Commitment to Excellence: Each party commits to upholding the highest standards of profes-
sionalism, integrity, and environmental stewardship throughout the duration of this engagement.
5. Term and Termination: This engagement shall commence on the effective date of this Letter
of Engagement and shall continue until either party provides written notice of termination. Ter-
mination shall be effective thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice.
6. Amendments: Any amendments or modifications to this agreement must be made in writing
and signed by authorized representatives of both parties.
This Letter of Engagement represents the continuation of a dynamic partnership between Indian River
County Stormwater Division and The Learning Alliance that develops readers and environmental lead-
ers. By joining forces, we are confident that we can make significant strides toward our shared objec-
tives of environmental conservation and community empowerment.
Please signify your agreement to the terms outlined in this letter by signing and returning a copy to the
Indian River County Stormwater Division. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration and the positive
impact it will have on our community.
Thank you for your partnership and commitment to environmental stewardship and literacy.
