Referring to the original question what I would expect from a professional organisation is that it embraces all branches of that profession equally. I would also expect it to develop communication between members of that profession so that we understand what the other person is saying. Thinking of communication that makes me think of training standards and content. I would expect my professional body to be in direct contact with educational providers to make sure that people undertaking training came out of it with the information needed to perform effectively. And as to its attitude to its members it is there to serve me the member after all I am paying the wages.
