profession, not a job. SEAW is where I see this distinction"

"I joined SEAW shortly after moving to Seattle from out of state and started to attend meetings regularly. I found this was a great way to meet colleagues and quickly found myself becoming more active 
within the Association."

"SEAW is the professional
