If board votes no does it go to membership to be voted on?

If a purchase is found not important and not approved by the board of directors, does it die there or does it go onto the membership to be voted on?

Nothing in RONR requires referring to the general membership a motion that has been disposed of by the board.

 

But see also Official Interpretations 2006-12 and 2006-13.

No. Just the opposite.

Probably.

The motion does not automatically go to the membership, but a member may make the same motion at a meeting of the membership, if he wishes. The only reason this could not be done is if the bylaws grant the board exclusive authority in this area.
