Professional association refers to a type of interest group. They represent the social and economic majorities of people who rely on a particular industry or corporation for their jobs and livelihood. States license barbers, beauticians, architects, lawyers, doctors, teachers, accountants, dentists, and many other occupational groups. Such interest groups are naturally interested in the nature of the regulatory laws and the makeup of boards that do the regulating. Medical associations monitor licensing standards for physicians, nurses, and other health professionals, just as legal associations monitor licensing standards for their profession and the appointment of state and local judges.
