"Their" in first sentence is wrong; it can't refer back to "the board"

I agree, although "their" does refer back to "the board", it is incorrect.
While "the board" is a collection of individual people, the word groups them all together in a singular collection. When you have a single thing comprised of smaller parts, it can be confusing, but the correct pronoun is "its".
