The great big "Profession/Professional/Professionalism" debate.

[oslac]

Members and Fellows have equal opportunity to be peer reviewed via the AARC process. The current situation has evolved over a long period of time and it may well be that it is time to review.

I think this is the nub of the issue. The AA is doing a best fit and is slow moving because of its historical position. I think it needs to bite the bullet and do what is right and change its structures in line with other professional bodies. The Membership level should be the peer reviewed level and Fellow granted for exceptional work beyond that.

 

I think the concept of a Registered Consultant sitting above the Members and Fellows is weird and not in keeping with how other professional bodies are organised. How can this be changed when the RC voted to keep their status and quite frankly (in a manner of speaking) said up yours to the rest of the Members and Fellows. Asking Turkeys to vote for Christmas springs to mind.

 

Good luck with turning it around, I wait and watch . . but with a beer in my hand rather than with bated breath.
