No. 48: Linda Armyn – Giving Bethpage All the Credit

You're in the Armyn now: After serving the not-for-profit institution for more than two decades in various executive roles, Linda Armyn became Bethpage Federal Credit Union president and CEO in August 2023 -- and she's been building momentum ever since.

 

Bethpage Federal Credit Union didn’t become a top-20 national credit union – or increase its asset holdings from $1 billion to more than $13 billion – by accident.

It took a team of forward-thinking leaders and dedicated employees, working together to bulk up an institution that launched 80-plus years ago as a small neighborhood depository exclusively servicing Grumman employees.

Chief among them: Linda Armyn, who became Bethpage’s president and CEO in August 2023 after two decades as senior vice president for corporate affairs and chief strategy/marketing officer.

In today’s episode, Linda joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss Bethpage’s steady rise toward national prominence, its innovative 2025 marketing campaign and its forthcoming big-time rebrand – plus the vital importance of volunteerism to personal, professional and corporate growth.
