NACORE International was incorporated in 1974 as simply the National Association
of Corporate Real Estate Executives by reorganizing and renaming the National
Association of Location Analysts NALAN (1969). The focus was on bringing
business leaders together so that they could network about real estate
information. NACORE was organized around the essentially the same association
model used by IDRC, except that it did not limit its
membership to industrial
enterprise developers.

Bob
Glover, was an associate member of both IDRC and NACORE.
He regularly attended regional and national meetings of both associations
during a 30 year period, beginning in the early 1970s and ending when they
become CoreNet
Global. He commented at the time he created The
Network that ... (the
two associations) were preeminent among the regional, national and international
organizations in which I held memberships in terms of providing the education,
experience qualifications to be a manager of state-level programs for prospecting
and site location services that led to the economic
development of communities.
At the core of it all was networking.
Although there was a constant stream of studies on the
academic side of how to make economic
development happen (example), the practical experience gained from IDRC and
NACORE, in combination with area
and local economic development networks, left no
doubta
skillful business
networking approach trumps all other forms of learning
or gaining experience, or promoting, and is that which brings home the bacon
every time as compared to indirect forms of marketing. Economic development has been
defined as a
specialized form of marketing.
Before shutting down, IDRC published the following statement on one of its webpages:
Perhaps the most important networking is that which is done on a person-to-person
basis between individuals with special skills and experience ...
The above quote was part of the organization's online
listing of its associate membership; i.e. IDRC maintained
a virtual site
selection network for enterprise
developers.
Associate member listings in the final editions of the IDRC and NACORE
International membership directories were added to the Global
Registry of Contacts. The database was bolstered with names and addresses
of several thousand resource
and service suppliers' engaged in enterprise
and economic development.
