A quick definition of board:

Board: A group of people who make important decisions for a company or organization. It's like a team of leaders who work together to guide and manage things. Board can also mean the meals provided to someone who is staying at a place like a hotel or boardinghouse.

A more thorough explanation:

A board is a group of people who have the power to manage, supervise, or advise. For example, a board of directors is a group of people who oversee a company's operations and make important decisions. In parliamentary law, a board is a type of deliberative assembly that has more autonomy and authority than a committee.

Board can also refer to daily meals provided to guests at a lodging, such as an inn or boardinghouse. This includes both a place to sleep (the room) and meals (the board).

  • The board of directors for the company met to discuss the budget for the upcoming year.
  • The school board is responsible for making decisions about the district's policies and programs.
  • During my stay at the bed and breakfast, I enjoyed a delicious breakfast as part of my room and board.

The first two examples illustrate the use of board to refer to a group of people with decision-making power. The third example shows how board can also refer to meals provided as part of a lodging package.
