I would greatly value all of your input. What are topics about which a Learning Professional should be UNIQUELY PROFICIENT (i.e. you know more than anyone else in your organization), and VERY PROFICIENT (i.e. critical knoweldge to do your job)?
Here are some thoughts to get the ball rolling:
UNIQUELY PROFICIENT
Virtual classrooms
LMSs/Training Portal
LCMS
Simulations
Workflow Learning?
EPSS?
Training Evaluation (Kirkpatrick levels?)
Skills Management?
Organizational Strategic Skill Gaps (OSSGs)
Needs Analysis
VERY PROFICIENT
Enterprise Strategy
Business Unit Strategy
Project Management
Technology Trends
Application Interface Design?
Schedule of Application Deployments
NICE TO HAVE'S?
BLEEDING EDGE?

My first thought is you need to define "Learning Professional." I would argue that a classroom facilitator, a content repository database administrator, the director of a learning call center, and the CLO are all learning professionals. But I would also argue that the unique proficiencies of each of these positions is vastly different than the others.
ASTD's 2004 Competency Study attempts to differentiate competencies between workplace learning roles. Another source for a set of proficiencies is ISPI's Standards of Performance Technology.
DESIGN - NOT SURE ANYONE MENTIONED THIS!!
Learning Professionals need to be uniquely proficient in:
1)identifying barriers to optimal performance for individuals, teams and organisations
2)being able to suggest and address learning issues in an integrated manner along with performance support and knowledge management issues
3)prove the value that they add to the organisation
