Does getting a "pro" rating with RWA mean anything inside RWA? The writers' organization I belong to (http://www.writers.ns.ca) has a "pro" designation which does mean something - i.e. you have to have been published to get it - although it doesn't actually mean you're a professional since you can earn it on the strength of a handful of magazine sales (as I initially did). I wouldn't mention it in a cover letter. I'm agog at the idea that anybody would care. But! It means I can serve on their Board of Directors. It seems important that the people running the place know something about getting published.

None of this really has a point, I am just rambling because the internal operations of writers' organizations is way more interesting to me than banking products, which I have to go back to editing once I am done this post.

Wish they sold pie in the cafeteria...
