Networking with board members

I'm interning at a company with a lot of board members and they all have offices in the building, albeit usually not there. I was wondering how I could network with these people as some of them have very impressive backgrounds. Do I try and setup an informational interview via email or do I just go to their office and chat them up a bit? Something like, "Hey I read a bit about your background and was interested in learning more, are you free to talk for a bit?". How do you get them to help you with your job search after? I don't want to come off as rude or anything by suggesting I'm trying to bolt from the firm after my internship.

Thanks for any help

Labore sunt ipsam tempora et quis iste molestiae. Earum et saepe dolores autem repellendus.

Here to learn and hopefully pass on some knowledge as well. SB if I helped.
