In general, the by-laws of a corporation (whether it is a for-profit or not-for-profit organization) determine the manner of appointing and removing officers. In general, membership on a board committee (such as the executive committee) does not constitute an officership. In the absence of a by-laws provision specifying some other process, the board is presumptively entitled to appoint and remove committee members. However, boards do not have the right to remove directors in general unless the by-laws or a specific applicable law so provides.
