Delegate

A delegate is a person chosen or appointed to represent others, typically in a formal setting like a meeting, conference, or government. Instead of acting on their own, a delegate advocates for the interests, preferences, or decisions of the group they represent. This process allows for more efficient decision-making when many people are involved, as the delegate speaks or votes on their behalf. Essentially, a delegate acts as a trusted voice or surrogate for their group, ensuring their collective views are expressed and considered.
