Interesting topic. Few professional bodies are excellent in terms of networking. However, the results of courses or masterclasses offered by them remain inconsequential. Learning need not be restricted to any specific body; any meaningful interaction is good to contribute. Looking forward to the views from our experts and mentors.

Hello,
There cannot be a simplistic answer as "Yes" or "No."
The constitution, structure, resources, and action orientation of those responsible for the conduct of the "professional body" (just as the values it espouses in the profession) will decide how it may or may not be able to contribute to the profession and its members!
As a general experience, the success of all organizations depends upon the level and quality of interactions among the members and the opportunities and platforms it creates for interaction, as well as the mentors acting as the flag bearers of the profession/organization.
In fact, my experience is that the professionals who occupy key positions in professional bodies actually determine its success and utility to members.
In short, the quality of human beings determines the quality of performance of the organization, be it a manufacturing unit or a professional body!
I trust this response will generate more interactions on this important topic.
Congratulations, sir, on touching a very sensitive issue (to me - as mostly I am disappointed by professional bodies, though I can also cite a few honorable exceptions)!
