Social Sciences - Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. / Constitution of Freemasons

French term or phrase: Député

I can't find an equivalent English term in Freemasonry websites. I thought of "Delegate" but am not confident enough:

Composition de l’Assemblée représentative.
Art. 4 - Cette Assemblée représentative se compose de tous les **Députés** des Loges de la Fédération et se réunit en Tenue de Grande Loge.
Chaque Loge, est représentée à l’Assemblée de la Grande Loge de France par un **Député** qu’elle élit dans son sein au scrutin secret.
Le mandat de **Député** dure une année, il peut être renouvelé par la Loge.
