The AUSTEN D. WARBURTON PIONEER AWARD is given each year to someone who has served both the Pioneers and the community well. Board Policy #31 says: "The Board of Directors should confer annually- as long as a qualifying recipient can be found-the Austen D. Warburton Pioneer Award. This Award should be granted for outstanding service to the community as well as the Pioneers." The Pioneer Award was established in 1987 during the presidency of Edward Allegretti. Austen Warburton was proposed as the first recipient but Austen said Clyde Arbuckle should get the first award, so Clyde became the first recipient and Austen, the second. In 1995, the award was renamed the Austen D. Warburton Pioneer Award to honor Austen, who consistently set the standard for service to the community and for service to the Pioneers.
