It may also include the past president for one year after they finish their service as board president and/or one additional at-large member.

The executive committee serves as the steering committee for the board of directors. As such, the executive committee may perform the duties of the board in the event of an emergency. The committee has no power other than emergency action or other powers delegated by the full board and will present such actions to the board for ratification at the next meeting.
