Although not fully revealed, it is well known among all of the board that the President and Fred are great friends. Its now been about 8 months since you started your organization, and today you get a stunning, 4-color, brochure with a voice recording of Fred and your Board President announcing that the NPO will undertake a capital campaign to purchase a facility. This is the first you have heard of a capital campaign.

As a board member, you are shocked by this announcement. What can you do? How are you going to propose the board handle the issue, assuming there is an issue at hand.
