Executive Council 

The General Convention of The Episcopal Church created the Executive Council to oversee the execution of programs, policies, the budget of the General Convention, and to serve as the board of directors for the church’s corporate entity, the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of The Episcopal Church. It is composed of 20 members elected by General Convention (four bishops, four priests or deacons, and 12 laypersons) and 18 members (one clergy, one lay) elected by province. The presiding bishop and the president of the House of Deputies are the chair and vice chair. The other officers of the Executive Council serve ex-officio with seat and voice but no vote.
