[Jacob-list] endorsements

[Linda]

It sounds like a decision for the BOD.  I will bring it up at the next meeting in May. I think most of the directors are on this list, so perhaps they can be giving it some thought. As Webmaster, I often get requests for reciprocal links from companies/peoples that we (as JSBA) are not familiar with.  We've decided to not do that. But that was not quite the same as these were unknowns.

But, yes, a resource page would be helpful.  Write up some thoughts on it and get them to your director for review (you too, Meg).
