Please define "Professional Reference"
I'm a bit hazy about what the term professional reference means. Does it mean your past immediate supervisors and/or former co-workers can be listed? I know that many companies have a policy where they can only verify that you were an employee, dates employed and that you left in good standing. May I reach out to former supervisors/co-workers as professional references?
Re: Please define "Professional Reference"
Yes- it means supervisors, co-worker, clients ect can be listed. Anyone who can attest to your working life/history/ethic.
For professional references by all means reach out to them and ask them for permission before listing them and make sure they will say good things.

Everything PPs stated. It should be someone you worked with at your last or current job or both. It is best to list a supervisor. I always list people above me who have to review and approve my work. If I needed more than three or four I have a few coworkers I work with closely who love my work and I would add them.
Make sure that you speak with these people before listing them and that they are willing and able to act as a reference for you.
I usually try to compile a varying list of people. If you're submitting 3-4 references, I usually do one past supervisor, one past colleague, maybe a vendor or client who has worked closely with me, and potentially a "high up" person who has seen my work and worked directly with me but not been my direct supervisor.
Any time you provide a list of references to a company, you should reach out to those references to let them know they may be receiving a call. I also usually tell them about the job, the company, and list a few key points they might want to highlight. Make it as easy as you can for them to help you get that job.
