I think the very nature of what a "professional association" actually is will change significantly and in many professions, such association will cease to exist altogether...which is a good thing!
With regards to university, that institution's very foundational model is completely and utterly flawed.
Specifically: Universities were designed to be placed of BOTH research AND teaching. This is properterous!
It is extremely unlikely for someone who is excellent teacher to also be an excellent researcher and vice versa as the skills for each of these are completely different (in my opinion at least) hence the famous saying of: "those who can't do, teach".
