Chairman...
Explanation:
based on your responses to my questions, here I'm not sure whether it's "assisted by the Secretary" or "introduced by the Secretary" and I think the latter makes a LOT more sense....

Of course, it's certainly Chairman and not President

Suerte Tony....

ahhhhh... In that case, if you think it really is the Secretary... it must be The Secretary, serving as Chair, called the meeting to order...

I finally got to the end of the minutes, and they are signed by the Vice-Chairman and the Secretary; therefore, I am assuming «the Chair, assisted by the Secretary" is the best answer. Seemingly, the Vice-Chairman chaired the meeting.

(stockholder) Chairman and the Secretary


Explanation:
I agree with Marian, it has to be a typo. Unless the Chairman is also a partner/stockholder.

Notes to answerer
Asker:

Asker: The thing is that no mention is made of the Chairman of the Board when the attendees to the Meeting were listed. So, I wonder how could we say that the Chairman called the meeting to order. Maybe, while it would be confusing, they are referring to the «presidente de la reunión» (the meeting's Chair); then, if this hypothesis were true, I guess this could be construed as "the Chair, asisted by the Secretary, called the meeting to order. What do you think?

President assisted by the Secretary


Explanation:
The Chairman/President, who was assisted/accompanied by the Secretary, called the meeting to order.

Creo que el original español está mal redactado y posiblemente quiera decir esto ("El Presidente, acompañado del Secretario...").
No se me ocurre ninguna otra posibilidad.

En la oportunidad fijada, el Presidente, acompañado del Secretario, abrirá el acto, indicando el tiempo durante el cual se oirán posturas...

Después de leer las dos páginas argentinas a que haces referencia, me confirmo más en mi primera intuición, aunque sería bueno que esto lo confirmara algún argentino o algún nicaragüense.
("presidente asociado del secretario o pro-secretario...";
"presidente asociado del secretario o —por su impedimento— del prosecretario...")

Chairman es seguro, pero habría que ver los usos de la palabra "asociado", que son muy amplios:

asociar (DRAE)

(Del lat. associāre).


1. tr. Unir una persona a otra que colabore en el desempeño de algún cargo, comisión o trabajo.

2. tr. Juntar una cosa con otra para concurrir a un mismo fin.

3. tr. relacionar (‖ establecer relación entre personas o cosas). U. t. c. intr. y c. prnl.

4. prnl. Juntarse, reunirse para algún fin.

Pues es verdad, The Chair es mejor que The Chairman, especialmente si no sabemos su nombre, dado que podría ser una mujer.

¡Seguro que el licenciado Roberto Ramírez lo sabe! Casualmente, estoy especializado en la traducción de actas (en España) e incluso tengo un libro publicado sobre cierto tipo de actas. Los encargos me los suelen hacer los secretarios, así que les pregunto las dudas directamente, pero eso es porque los conozco:-)
