If the question intends to ask what Jews call the laity who run a synagogue from a purely economic and social perspective, i.e. handle money inflows and outflows, memberships, programming, etc. Most synagogues would call this group of people the "Board of Trustees", but there are diverse names for this in different parts of the world and in different sects of Judaism. Historically, prior to emancipation, this was one of many activities subsumed by the Kahal, but with the emancipation and the end of the Kahal, this has become its own thing.
However, deacons have different responsibilities in different sects of Christianity and even between the various Protestant denominations. As a result, the Board of Trustees may not parallel the Board of Deacons if the Deacons are not laity or are not in charge of church operations.
