Candidate for Division I Director
Frank Waterer, ACG

I love the definition that defines success as “getting up one more time than you fall”. We

have all had our shares of these “falls” and will continue to have them as long as we live. The
important thing to remember is simple, just keep getting up!
One of my primary goals at this stage of my life is to help others improve their lives by
overcoming their fears and helping them achieve goals they have identified for themselves. I

feel that Toastmasters is an ideal venue for that. Speaking in public is the greatest fear many
people face, and there are few places like Toastmasters which offer the opportunity to face those
fears.
My goal, if I am elected, would be to offer encouragement, guidance and ideas to each of our

clubs, working through our area directors, so that we can help each of our individual members
achieve the goals most important to them. We can do that by helping each club to be an
inviting place that offers all the good things which Toastmasters encompass; where people feel
welcomed, supported, encouraged and challenged to face their fears and stretch to reach their

full potential. I look forward to the opportunity to serve.
