We don’t advertise members’ businesses on this site, and the primary reason is that we are a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) recognition. The IRS objects to ANY kind of “private benefit” to the members of the organization that comes from the funds of the organization, and we don’t get free Web hosting, even though our plan is dirt cheap.  So to stay in their good graces and keep our noses clean for 501(c)(3) purposes, we don’t mix nonprofit activity with for-profit activity by advertising for-profit businesses on our site.  This also avoids conflicts if we get members with competing business, both of which want to be mentioned first or more prominently!  Also, we can’t vouch for the quality or integrity of a business we don’t know well, so it’s safer not to appear to endorse various businesses.
