IANAL, but it's my understanding that the only time an association can restrict you from accepting work from someone else (without you being an employee) is if the other work would be detrimental to your performance with the first group and/or would be "harmful" to the first group. And - this has to be a stated policy and condition of your acceptance of their assignments.

Or maybe not.
Would this include things like being a rec team coach?
