Morphology
The meaning 'a formal meeting of the board of directors' is directly derivable from combining 'board' (a governing committee) with 'meeting' (a planned gathering). This noun+noun compound follows a common compositional pattern found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Board meeting may come from the old meaning of board as a long wooden table where important people sat. Company leaders would meet around that board to talk and make decisions, so a board meeting now means a formal meeting of a company's directors.
