Col. Carla D. Bass, USAF (Ret), authored the multiple award-winning book Write to Influence! now in its second edition. Writing powerfully was central to her success. Throughout her 45-year career (30 in the Air Force and 15 with a federal agency), she composed products for Congress, the White House, generals, and ambassadors; hundreds of performance reviews; award nominations; and budget justifications.

Carla developed her writing methodology and taught thousands of Air Force personnel for 15 years – to rave reviews – propelling others’ careers as a result. Per Lt. Gen. Dana T. Atkins, USAF (Ret), MOAA president and CEO, “Write to Influence! training … led to increased professional advancement opportunities for countless numbers of servicemembers.”

She now gives highly acclaimed presentations to government agencies, corporations, private businesses, NGOs, and academic audiences.

From tips to frame a winning argument to crafting powerful résumé, grant submissions, input to performance reviews, and essays for college applications ... she covers it all! Carla served in locations to include Germany, Bulgaria (as the defense and air attaché), Korea, and Washington, D.C. For more info, see https://www.WriteToInfluence.net.
