View source for HOWTO Bring A Proposal to the Board

The [[Board of Directors]] is happy to discuss any issue or concern that is appropriate for its consideration.

== fun fact, in most cases you don't need to actually bring proposals to the board! ==

* If you have a thing that only affects one zone, talk to the zone coordinator
* If you have a reimbursement question, talk to the [[Treasurer]] team
* If you just have questions that you think only the board can answer, try #ask-the-board in slack (preferred, because that way other people get to see the questions and answers) or email board@
** sometimes asking at the '''end''' of a board meeting can work too, but it's not a great place
* If you're just giving a status report for something the board asked you to do, that is not a Official Proposal so you can just put it on the board minutes

== If you do have something that the board must vote on (and aren't a board member) ==
Similar to [[HOWTO Propose rule/policy/procedure changes]], but there are some changes:
* only a current board member can put an actual vote on the board agenda
* Board mostly doesn't have to vote on stuff that needs wide membership input, so it doesn't need to go on the member list
** it still can! You just have to use judgement.
*** If it is something that needs wide input, are you sure that it's a board meeting thing and not a member meeting thing?
