Linda Armyn

President and CEO, Bethpage Federal Credit Union

In August 2023, Linda Armyn was named the president and chief executive officer of Bethpage Federal Credit Union. She is only the fifth person and the first woman to serve in this role. A dynamic strategic leader well known throughout Long Island and the credit union industry, Armyn has played an integral role in Bethpage’s strategic growth and enhanced corporate brand.

Since joining Bethpage in 2001, Armyn has led many aspects of the credit union’s operations, helping Bethpage grow from $1.1 billion to more than $13 billion in assets. Armyn played an integral role in two mergers that led to Bethpage’s open charter in 2016, allowing the credit union to serve members nationally. Today, Bethpage is the largest credit union in the Northeast and the 15 ^th -largest nationwide, with 440,000 members and 800 employees.

With a focus on collaboration and innovation, Armyn developed Bethpage’s comprehensive community engagement efforts, known as Bethpage Cares. This successful philanthropic effort invests more than $2 million in communities of modest means and 6,000 employee volunteer hours annually. In 2019, Armyn and the Bethpage team collaborated with Suffolk County to bring a Bike Share program, known as Bethpage Ride, to Suffolk County for the first time; it now serves 12 communities in last-mile mobility efforts.

Of the significant branding initiatives led by Armyn, the most visible is the annual Bethpage Federal Credit Union Air Show at Jones Beach. Shealso enhanced Bethpage’s brand through negotiating the naming rights at the Long Island Ducks stadium from 2010-2020 and establishing the annual Bethpage Turkey Drive, which supports Island Harvest.
