[Organizers] booking as a team?

Hi all, I am training to be the booker for the Montpelier, VT, dance under the guidance of long-time booker Cindy Taska. We are considering adopting a team approach to booking -- in case something happens to one person, to share the load, to share the knowledge, to allow for a balanced booking perspective, etc. We're finding it difficult to figure out how to share the job in a way that doesn't create more work for both people, though. Does anyone else book for their dance as a team, or do you all have one person doing your booking? Do you have any other booking tips or "best practices" of booking, things you do that are essential to making the whole process work well, while I'm asking? Thanks for the shared wisdom!
