In her new role, Houghton will oversee the daily operations of the branch, which is located at 48 Albany St. in Cazenovia. Tasks will include ensuring quality customer service and managing the branch’s compliance with operating policies, procedures, and outside regulatory requirements.

I expect her leadership to have a meaningful impact on the continued success of our Cazenovia branch.”
