JOANIE CALEM from Columbus, Ohio, served on the PMN SC from 2021, and as Chair of the Steering Committee during 2025.  She is grateful to the current Steering Committee's ability to face the challenges that come with a small non-profit organization and she looks forward to being an active PMN Member once again without the governance role.

Joanie is a musician, singer/songwriter, storyteller, disability awareness activist, community-builder, cross-cultural worker and teacher.  She lived in Israel for 24 years where she started her adult life as a musician and simultaneously worked in Jewish-Arab relations building cross-cultural community work projects.  In the U.S., Joanie has been teaching music and performing since 1998. She uses music to break down stereotypes, build community and foster connection.

ERIC LAW hails from Rancho Mirage, California, and has been instrumental in boosting greater inclusion of non-East Coast residents in PMN Membership activities.  Eric just released his third album,  MIRRORS.

Eric is an electrical engineer by training, an Episcopal priest, an author of 12 books, and the founder of the Kaleidoscope Institute for Diverse and Sustainable Communities.  He has lived in different parts of the United States, and is currently focused on songwriting during his retirement and California residency.

LINDSEY WILSON currently resides in the Bronx, New York City, though she, too, has lived in different places during her journey.

Lindsey is a singer/songwriter who embraces issues of the heart and mind in her original music. She writes love songs, protest tunes, and lyrics of empowerment. Her influences include some of the great folk-pop singer songwriters of all times such as Richie Havens, Joan Armatrading, and Joni Mitchell, but Lindsey's message is all her own.
