Can a voting member in good standing submit motions by letter that he would like brought to the membership if he is not going to be present at the meeting?

Well, he can submit whatever he likes, but the motion is not brought before the assembly unless a member who is present at the meeting actually makes the motion (and another member seconds it), or if your organization has special rules permitting absent members to make motions by a letter. So the member's best bet is to send the motion to someone else who supports it and who will be at the meeting.

He can but the assembly is under no obligation to consider the motions. His best option might be to have one of his allies who is in favor of the motion make it but again this member is under no obligation to do so.
