Abstract
Professional organisations have been successful in serving the public interest and the private interests of their members. This paper examines the future of professional bodies in light of changes in public expectations, the political environment and technology. It questions whether professional bodies will be able to react sufficiently quickly to the challenges brought about by these changes. The paper concludes by offering a number of predictions for the future of professional bodies.
