Explanation:
"Appointment of the seven members of the Board of the Directors"

Election is not entirely wrong but appointment is a more suitable word in this case.

The shareholders usually just decide whether or not to accept the members for the Board of Directors proposed and submitted by the Board of Directors to the General Shareholders' Meeting.
