It is recommended that the Chairperson and Co-Chair assign responsibility for a given program or educational opportunity to individuals on the committee and that they recruit assistance for individual tasks as needed.

Committee Chair/Co-Chair would only fill in on a responsibility if someone was not available in a specific month.  There is no rule that says you can’t go outside your committee to ask for help!
