The L. Ronald Hill Memorial Prize — This prize has been discontinued
Beginning in the year 2000, William M. Mercer donated $10,000 to The Actuarial Foundation in
memory of L. Ronald Hill.
Prior to the year 2000, the L. Ronald Hill Memorial Prize was given annually in memory of L. Ronald
Hill, a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. The $500 prize and plaque were donated by William M.
Mercer Inc., to encourage the publication of papers in the North American Actuarial Journal and the
Pension and Health Sections on the subject of employee benefit plans. Awards of other prizes for an
employee benefit paper did not preclude that paper from eligibility for the L. Ronald Hill prize.
Three Fellows, representing the Group, U.S. Pension and Canadian Pension areas, selected the recipient
of the award. Papers are judged based on appropriateness of subject material, timeliness of topic,
universality, originality, and practical and theoretical application to employee benefits
