 **Member Contributions** Carson has been hard at work on both the [2020 U.S. Election API Resource Center ](https://blog.postman.com/launching-us-2020-election-api-resource-center/)and the [Postman COVID-19 API Resource Center](https://blog.postman.com/latest-news-covid19-api-resource-center/). The collections she has built for the MTNA Rich Data Services Election API are perfect examples of community contributions to such impactful projects. **Motivation “**Postman was the platform that introduced me to APIs when I was learning to code, and it has been such a helpful and welcoming community to be a part of ever since. I've spent a lot of time in the docs and forums learning from other contributors over the years, and it has undoubtedly helped me become a better developer, tester, and documentation writer. Now, as a contributor, I hope I can provide even a fraction of that value for someone else.” **Musings** Read Carson's [Spread the News, Not the Virus: Creating a Personalized COVID-19 Alert System](https://blog.postman.com/personalized-covid-19-alert-system/) guest post on the Postman blog. **Must-See: Postman Galaxy** Carson will be speaking at the exciting Postman Galaxy global online conference to be held on February 2-4, 2021. **If you want to interact with other interesting API folks like Carson, we've got just the place for you.
