I am a member of the Executive Council of The Episcopal Church. I was elected at General Convention in 2006 for a six-year term. For what it's worth, I got the most votes of any member elected by the House of Deputies at that convention. I mention it only because apparently a lot of deputies across the Church thought I am competent to do the job.
Here is what the General Convention Office says about this body:
The Executive Council of the Episcopal Church is an elected body representing the whole Church . . . The Executive Council has the duty to carry out programs and policies adopted by General Convention. It is the job of Executive Council to oversee the ministry and mission of the Church. The Executive Council is comprised of twenty members elected by General Convention (four bishops, four priests or deacons and twelve laypersons) and eighteen members elected by provincial synods.
