Visions will be opening their new branch at 145 Marshall St., located along the northern edge of Syracuse University’s campus. The branch, which is expected to open later in 2026, will be Visions’ third branch in Onondaga County. In addition to regional branches in Westside Syracuse and Cicero, they offer comprehensive financial services in a three-state footprint in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania and serve more than 250,000 members in all 50 states and around the world.

As CRO, Garcia is responsible for ensuring a holistically positive experience for all Visions members, as well as for their 300+ Branch and Contact Center employees. Garcia’s role provides a panoramic view of the larger cooperative through the perspective of these member-facing teams and requires an intimate understanding of how employees’ needs interact with members’ needs. Alongside member feedback, a large part of Garcia’s role has to do with employee feedback. “It’s important to remember that it’s not my voice, but the voice of the people I serve.”
