The officers of a Lodge must accept the responsibilities of their offices and, at the least, attend stated meetings unless work or family emergencies interfere. If they cannot, they should decline said offices.
Unless you're honest about that and the lodge is disparate for officers. I did that one year during one of my trips through the line. My second time through the line (first time in Illinois) I was going to be traveling for work for half a year. They needed officers so badly I was installed as SD anyways. I attended poorly half the year, well half the year then skipped to the SW chair. Mister Toad's wild ride - SD, SW, WM, WM, TL, JD, JW, consolidate to form a lodge with a healthy line. And a partridge in a pear tree!
