The correct answer will be (is) because the subjects are modifiers. However, this does not matter much what matters is the grammar. The person reading the sentence will not be confused but if the both the Secretary and treasures were two different people then are will have been appropriate in this case, is (is) used to single out and show that either of them was not present in the meeting, and that is why we are going for the singular preposition.
