In 2014, Susan and her mentor Bob Butler (former EVP of Operations for Albertsons) attended the first game of the Boise State University Broncos football season to celebrate the renaming of the stadium to Albertsons Stadium. They wear commemorative #39 shirts in honor of Albertsons' founding in 1939. Also pictured is Mark Coyle, former Boise State University athletic director.
In 2014, Susan (then Intermountain Division President) celebrated the newly remodeled store #101, the location of Joe Albertson’s first store in 1939, alongside former Idaho Gov. Butch Otter, former Boise Mayor Dave Bieter, and Albertsons Companies leaders.
