The people working to defend the compact between Utah communities and their government.
Conner Radcliffe is a former social worker, software developer, and community builder whose career has been defined by a single throughline: connecting people to the resources and relationships they need to thrive.
Drawing on his background in social work, Radcliffe developed Sortie Field, an app designed to help neighbors find local events, coordinate activities, and build stronger community ties. The platform reflects his belief that meaningful civic life starts at the neighborhood level, and that the right tools can make it easier for everyday people to show up for one another.
As President of the Utah Civic Compact, Radcliffe brings both the human-centered perspective of a social worker and the practical problem-solving skills of a technologist to the organization's mission. He is committed to building a Utah where communities are engaged, informed, and empowered to shape their own futures.
Clark Dice is a comedian, bartender, and campaign speechwriter whose eclectic career reflects a single consistent instinct: read the room, find the human truth, and say it out loud.
With a background in behavioral economics, Clark brings an uncommon analytical lens to the art of communication, having learned to see not just what people hear, but why it moves them. That skillset has made him a trusted voice in local and state political campaigns, where he has helped candidates find the words to connect with the communities they serve.
But for Clark, communication has always been in service of something larger. A passionate advocate for mental health awareness and community service, he believes that showing up for your neighbors is the necessary foundation of a functioning society. That sense of duty is what drew him to the Utah Civic Compact and its mission of strengthening civic life across the state.
As Director of Communications, Clark channels his wit, training, and deep commitment to people into amplifying the Compact's work.
Jarom Gillins brings a distinctly hands-on perspective to the Utah Civic Compact's board. A U.S. Army veteran, Jarom has spent his career working in the trades — including as an underwater welder and a wind turbine technician — giving him firsthand experience with both the physical backbone of America's economy and the clean energy infrastructure shaping its future. That on-the-ground experience across industries has informed his belief that good governance should serve everyday working people, not special interests.
Jarom has channeled his civic passion into direct action, running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Utah's 2nd Congressional District in 2026. He describes himself as a tradesman, Eagle Scout, and independent reformer committed to accountability and transparency in government, believing that the government only works for those who participate — a core pillar of Utah Civic Compact's mission.
As a board member of the Utah Civic Compact, Jarom lends the voice of a working Utahn — someone who has worked in the ocean's depths and climbed 350-foot wind turbines, now helping lead the organization's mission of strengthening civic engagement across the state.
