Question: A proxy is used as an absentee vote, but can it counted in arriving at a quoram for a meeting as well? 

Answer: Depends on the Standing Orders for that meeting. You'd need to refer to these to determine if the requirement for the meeting (de facto) being in quorum supercedes any quorum requirements achieved through votes counted.
