Mauricio Garcia

Mauricio Garcia joined the Bender JCC of Greater Washington in 2005 as a Graphic Designer and, over the next two decades, took on increasing leadership responsibilities across nearly every aspect of the organization’s marketing and communications efforts. In July 2026, he was named Chief Marketing Officer, where he now leads the Bender JCC’s marketing, communications, brand strategy, digital engagement, and creative services as a member of the executive leadership team.

Throughout his career at the Bender JCC, Mauricio has helped shape the organization’s brand and strengthen its connection to the community through strategic storytelling, digital marketing, graphic design, photography, videography, website management, public relations, and organizational communications. He believes that great marketing is about more than promoting programs. It is about building relationships, creating meaningful experiences, and helping people feel a sense of connection and belonging.

Mauricio attended Universidad Privada Boliviana (UPB), where he studied Marketing and Communications with a concentration in Graphic Design.

Mauricio and his wife, Carolina, are raising their son, David, in Rockville. Living in the same community the Bender JCC serves inspires his commitment to creating welcoming experiences and helping individuals and families discover all that the organization has to offer.
