Who is responsible for keeping roll and minutes and receiving attendance excuses from members?

• A. Treasurer
• B. Secretary
• C. President
• D. Vice President

Answer: (B)

Keeping roll and minutes and handling attendance excuses fall to the secretary because this role is about maintaining the group’s records and official documentation. The roll records who is present at meetings, the minutes capture what was decided and what actions were taken, and collecting attendance excuses keeps the attendance records accurate and up-to-date for things like quorum and member status. The treasurer handles finances, the president leads the meetings and represents the group, and the vice president supports the president, so none of them are primarily responsible for this set of journal-like records. That makes the secretary the best fit for these duties.
