It means to join others in a project or agree with others about an idea of some sort.

Example:

"We're all going to begin recycling our plastic bags. We'd appreciate it if you'd get on board."

Originates from the idea of a group "boarding" a boat or ship. When you get onto a boat it is considered "getting on board the boat."
