It's really a matter of common courtesy. I can imagine lots of reasons why someone would have to skip a meeting at the last minute. But you certainly want that officer to do everything she can to make sure her duties are covered (the secretary should make sure someone will be prepared to take the minutes, for example) and to pass on any information she possesses that will be needed at the meeting. Now, if someone is constantly skipping meetings, that's another story.
