More Information About The Fund

The Fund was established (as NABL, Inc.) on September 18, 1981, with initial funding by the Association. In 1986, it was renamed in honor of Robert H. Hilderbrand, Jr., a partner in the Philadelphia firm of Saul, Ewing, Remick & Saul, who perished on November 11, 1985, in an airplane accident. Mr. Hilderbrand, Vice-Chairman of the Association’s 1985 Arbitrage Seminar, was Vice-Chairman-Designate of the Committee on Education at his death and would have chaired the 1986 Arbitrage Seminar. He had been active in the Association’s educational programs, and those of other organizations, for several years, and possessed an uncanny ability to explain, with clarity and wit, the complexities of the Internal Revenue Code.
