Meet CUFA's Board of Directors
Clark Beck - President
I have been a member of CUFA for eight years and have been a board member for several years. The most compelling reason I am a member of CUFA is that this diverse organization is fighting for improvements to how people live. I reside in the College Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati. CUFA is a group of people working to correct problems and we need your participation.

I lived in South Cumminsville for 17+ years. I attended Southern Ohio College, and I have a BS from Miami University. I am a US Army veteran. I have been an active CUFA member for more than 10 years and on the board for many of them. The thing I like about CUFA is that we help people in the community come together and solve the problems they’re facing.
Willie Hopkins - Vice President for Internal Affairs
I have been a CUFA member for 7 years. I joined the committee to get something done about the standing water in my yard. I like how CUFA deals with problems. I’m good at listening to people and I like fighting the system. I have had several careers including social worker, truck driver, restaurant manager, and I’ve been in a Grammy Award winning gospel group.
Andrea Baker - Treasurer
I joined CUFA in 2020 after we experienced a sewage overflow in our basement caused by a broken sewer system. I joined with other people who had experienced the same problems. We have fought to get the City, the County, and MSD to fix the sewers for everyone. I am delighted to serve on CUFA's board because Communities United For Action is an organization that cares about the needs of communities.
