Robert’s Rules of Order says:

When a member of a constituent unit has accepted election as a delegate, he has the obligation to attend the convention, with such expense allowance as the unit may provide; she should not leave it to an alternate to serve in her place except for serious reason. At the convention, the delegate has the duty to be present at the business meetings, and to be prepared on returning from the convention to present to her unit an information report of what transpired. A delegate is free to vote as she sees fit on questions at the convention, except as her constituent unit may have instructed her in regard to particular matters scheduled for consideration. RONR (12^th ed.) 58:18
