As far as I know there is no single E-mail address you can contact Board, but you can try to catch directly any members of the Board who are still brave enough to provide their personal E-mail... This is not that straightforward as you may expect, but first go here:
https://wikimediafoundation.org/role/board/ than click on any face you may find especially friendly, and then in some cases (not in all) by clicking links in their description, with some good luck you may land on the page, where there is some contact information :-) Or - much simpler: forget rather useless official WMF website, which is tailored rather to impress than to provide any information, and go to meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees where you can find link to meta-userpages of them and then you can contact them as usually on wiki.
