“Canada’s Association of Information Technology (IT) Professionals.” Elements of a Mature Profession “A profession has an identity – that the professionals see themselves as part of community of like-minded individuals who care about the quality of their professional practice. This identity usually manifests itself in the form of a professional society. Most professionals belong to the society, which, mostly through volunteer efforts, promotes the development and interactions of the other components of the profession.” 1
