And your question is?

Oops -- Is this addressed in RONR? If so, I couldn't locate it so I'd like to know what RONR says about this topic. Should a committee chair make a motion to undertake a project that comes from the committee she chairs? Should she refrain from campaigning for the project? Should she vote as a Board Member to undertake this project? Thanks!

Should a committee chair make a motion to undertake a project that comes from the committee she chairs?

Generally the Committee Chair is the person who presents the Committee's report with any recommendations to the body which appointed it (RONR pp. 511-529).

Should she refrain from campaigning for the project?

No.

Should she vote as a Board Member to undertake this project?

As a Board member she has a right to vote on all questions coming before the Board (even those which came from a committee that she chaired).

As a Board member she has a right to vote on all questions coming before the Board (even those which came from a committee that she chaired).

And she can even vote one way as a member of the committee (at committee meetings) and another way as a member of the board (at board meetings).
