3Dunno about other countries, but in the UK it's mandatory to be a member of the relevant professional association in many cases (accountants, architects, engineers, nurses, solicitors,...). But I don't suppose many of those members often if ever "come together" to actually interact with their fellow members - it's not like they're social clubs.– FumbleFingersCommented Aug 25, 2023 at 10:18

Yours is the kind of question that’s easily resolved by a simple web search. Even Wikipedia has an article that would have settled it for. Here on ELL it is expected that one try to find answers on one’s own before posting questions.– Paul TanenbaumCommented Aug 25, 2023 at 12:28

"Professional societies" just simply mean a society of professionals - a group of people who work on the same thing/profession. So in the sentence you presented it means he is part of many groups of people who all have different professions.
