Officers that miss a meeting

[Guest Ralph]

I attend a meeting last night where the person conducting the meeting stated that as per Roberts Rules, he would decide if the officer not attending the meeting was an excused or non-excused reason for missing the meeting. After some research, I have found no such rule for conducting a meeting. Is this a true statement for conducting a meeting?

RONR has no attendance requirements. As a result, there is no need to determine what reason officers have for not attending a meeting, let alone determining whether such a reason is "excused." If any such rules exist, they would need to be in your organization's own rules, not Robert's Rules of Order.
