Person of the Year Runners Up

Andrea Clarke

The Clarke family name is synonymous with philanthropy, education and behind-the-scenes support for nearly every good cause in Utah Valley.
Andrea Clarke, a University of Utah graduate, chairs the UVU Women’s Success Center Board of Advisors. In November 2018, the Women’s Success Center honored Andrea with the Illumine Award (an honor formally titled Rainmaker), which is given to those advocating for women’s education.

In April 2018, Andrea and her husband, James, donated $5 million to UVU which supports the Women’s Success Center, the Woodbury School of Business, the Center for Constitutional Studies and the School of Aviation Sciences. UVU’s Clarke Building is named for the Provo couple.

In March 2018, the SCERA honored Andrea, James and their three children with the “Friend to the Arts” award at their 13th annual Star Awards. The Clarke Theater at SCERA carries on the family legacy.

When she and James were engaged, they started Clearlink (the company name is derived from “Clarke” and “Earl,” which is Andrea’s maiden name). They sold the company in 2011 and formed Clarke Capital Partners in Provo.
