The policy is that the board has voting authority. Somebody needs the authority to say that an event is illegal, that it would kill our ambitions for 501(c)(3), that the advertising needs to be changed because it says we're doing something illegal, or that our insurance requires a separate endorsement to cover this so we need you to cover the extra cost. It makes sense for the Board to do this. We actually did have an issue in the past. Someone advertised an event that said we were selling liquor. (We have no liquor license, so this is very illegal.) A Board member asked the person to change it. Fortunately the person complied, because without the policy, the person could have ignored the Board. --Rdpierce (talk) 23:46, 16 July 2015 (CDT)
