CoreNet Global Marks Passing of Joe Bagby

CoreNet Global has learned of the recent death of Joseph Rigsby Bagby who, along with his wife Martha, co-founded the National Association of Corporate Real Estate Executives (NACORE) in 1969. NACORE and the International Development Research Council (IDRC) merged to form CoreNet Global in 2002.

“Joe Bagby was a visionary who had the foresight to build an association for a profession that was still in its early defining stages,” said Angela Cain, former CEO of CoreNet Global. “He was a kind man whose thoughtful leadership propelled the corporate real estate profession forward as he built a growing network of executives learning together and establishing a framework for best practices.”
