[Guest judy]

If president and vice president are not present at meeting, who presides?

[Ann Rempel]

"[T]he secretary -- or in the secretary's absence, some other member --should call the meeting to order, and the assembly should immediately elect a chairman pro tem to preside during that session." RONR, 11th ed., p. 453 ll 4-6

[Transpower]

If the secretary is absent, then the assembly should elect a secretary pro tem.  A meeting must have a chair and a secretary.

[Guest Larry Holly]

Can a president prevent a member from electronic recording the conversation of a meeting of the executive?
