"As a smaller club, saving $150/year matters. But the real win is how much easier it is to manage everything. The role preference system respects what members want to do."
— Robert Fe, Club President

The Challenge

Austin Toastmasters Club is a historic and vibrant club with over 90 active members. Managing such a large group requires precision, but their manual systems were struggling to keep up.

Robert Fe, the Club President, was spending 4+ hours every week coordinating schedules, sending "It's made such a difference in member satisfaction," Robert notes. "People are happier when they're doing roles they enjoy. And the system still ensures everyone gets varied experience—it just prioritizes preferences when possible."ly was becoming a full-time job.

Before & After

Before Toastmanagers

  • Manual tracking of 90+ members
  • Complex spreadsheets for role history
  • Difficulty ensuring fair speaking slots
  • High administrative burnout
  • Fragmented communication channels

After Toastmanagers

  • Automated role assignments & tracking
  • Centralized member data & preferences
  • Equitable distribution of speaking opportunities
  • Reduced officer workload by 4+ hours/week
  • Unified platform for all club communications

Why They Switched

"We looked at Easy-Speak, but $150/year felt steep for a small club," Robert explains. "When we found Toastmanagers—completely free with more features—it was a no-brainer."

The role preference system has been transformative for Austin Toastmasters. Members can now indicate which roles they enjoy, which they want to learn, and which they'd rather avoid.
