Se dio inicio a la sesión del Directorio con la asistencia de los Directores [nombres...].
Excusaron su inasistencia los Directores señores Guillermo XX y Gonzalo XX.
I'm not sure how this would be phrased in English other than to say they reported their absence or simply "were absent" or "not in attendance"? For an event like a wedding I know it would be sent their regrets. Thank you in advance.

Charles Davis
: The classic formula in the UK is "Apologies for absence were received from..." (I speak from long experience of minute-taking), but I don't know what they put in the US.
