The Ian De La Rue Youth Initiative Award was first awarded in 2012 to honour the memory of the late Ian De La Rue OAM, first Chairman of the Warburton Community Bank and a member of the Steering Committee.
Each year we seek to recognise, acknowledge and reward a young person who makes a positive contribution to their community.
This $1,000 Award is presented in the spirit of the late Ian De La Rue’s commitment to our community, and his passion for encouraging young people to strive for excellence and to be active in and contribute to their local community.
