In Memoriam: Bob Cutlip, 1949-2024
Robert “Bob” Cutlip, NAIOP leader and former chair of the NAIOP Board of Directors, passed away on Feb. 14, 2024. He was a 31-year NAIOP member, having joined the association in 1993. Cutlip led the board in 2006, a year of tremendous growth and achievement for the association.
A crowning achievement of his leadership was the launch of a program designed to engage young professionals in NAIOP. The Emerging Leaders Award (now known as the Developing Leaders Award) was established to recognize rising stars both in NAIOP and the industry.
Under his leadership, NAIOP also expanded its international presence by forming a partnership with the Mexico Association of Industrial Parks, as well as leading a global trade mission to explore China’s growing economy and real estate development trends.
After serving as chair, Cutlip continued his involvement in NAIOP as a member of the of the Industry Trends Task Force, the Industrial Development I National Forum, and as a Governor and Trustee with the NAIOP Research Foundation, where he served as chair in 2014.
