Linda Levy is the former Chief Executive Officer of Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union and currently is a consultant to credit unions. She spent years in the cooperative movement before moving to New York’s Lower East Side, where she noticed “Lower East Side People’s Federal Credit Union” spray-painted on a boarded-up building and was immediately intrigued. She became Manager of the newly chartered Lower East Side People’s FCU (LESPFCU) in 1986, at the recommendation of former Inclusiv CEO, Cliff Rosenthal. Though she left LESPFCU in 1991, spending several years at Inclusiv providing technical assistance to CDCUs across the country, Linda remained on the Board of Directors until 1999. Linda was elected Board Treasurer and named Acting CEO, and in 2006 the position became permanent. LESP FCU leadership’s in the community development credit union has been recognized by several awards. Linda is the 2018 Annie E. Vamper awardee.
