CoreNet Global
CoreNet Global was formed from the combined memberships of the International Development Research Council and the National Association of Corporate Real Estate Executives (NACORE International) in 2002. Before that, nearly 25 years of active business networking with members of IDRC and NACORE International helped bring a vision for The Network into focus. Of course, the vision was blind to the development of the Internet for most of those years. The vision was converted to a mission once the Internet became available.

LACRA
The Los Angeles Commercial Realty Association (LACRA) was incorporated in 1983 as a vehicle for commercial real estate brokers and landlord representatives to exchange ideas and forge relationships with a group of real estate professionals whose common focus was leasing. The core group began several years earlier when ten office brokers held an informal breakfast meeting to promote their projects and discuss deals and listings. During its second year, the group decided to invite owners' representatives to join the monthly discussions and add their perspective on lease transactions. Each firm was allowed to have one representative member. The group's networking potential caught the interest of the brokerage community at large, and LACRA counted fifty members by the end of the eighties.
