Teaching, presenting programs/lectures for guilds or without compensation, or community service will not change the status of a non-professional.
Professional: Anyone who, at the time of entry submission and previously, engages in needlework as a teacher, judge, artist/designer, lecturer, author, or stitches for commissioned work and who receives earned remuneration.
