Library committees for Elly and hospital boards for Connie. Wouldn’t this work just be a part of their regular jobs? Elly is supposed to be an employee of the library. Connie is supposed to have a full-time job as a radiologist at the hospital.
As for Elly’s complaint that she and Connie don’t have enough time to sit and chat anymore, she is quite correct. You have to go all the way back to December 10, 2017 to find a comic strip where they do that.
Whether you work at a library full time or as a volunteer, you can just leave the job at the door at the end of the day. Or you can also spend your evenings at the library board meeting which discusses and works on other issues than just the day to day. Same thing for Connie.
That is not fully Elly’s fault. There was a story arc where she blew off an important meeting because Michael was acting needy. However, when she suggested going to the movies or playing a board game, Michael rudely said no and that he just expected his mother to sit at home like a lump.

Better to serve on a committee than sit around all day talking about how bored you are.

I confess: the word “committee” gives me hives.

For God so loved the world, that He did NOT send a committee.
Committee: a group of the uninterested appointed by the superiors to do the impossible.
