Board of Directors
"Never have so much experience that you know something cannot be done."
~ Joe Albertson
Joe Albertson opened his first grocery store in Boise in 1939. He often said that the people who worked for him were his greatest asset and was committed to giving young people an opportunity to excel.
A family foundation is one in which family members play a significant role in governing, managing and adhering to the intent of the donor and the donor's family. Members of the Albertson family serve on a seven-member board of directors: J.B. Scott is the grandson of Joe and Kathryn Albertson; Jamie MacMillan is J.B. Scott's daughter, J.L. Scott is J.B. Scott's father. Barbara J. Newman the daughter of Joe and Kathryn, was granted Director Emeritus Status in 2007. She is the second person, her mother, Kathryn, being the first, to be granted a lifetime membership on the Foundation Board of Directors.
The Board sets policy and delegates authority to the Foundation's president and senior staff for Foundation operations.
