	Co-chair, Tina Martinez: I've been a Pagan my whole life, though of course when I was younger I didn't know there was a name for it. I self-identify as a Witch, with strong ties in divination, primarily Tarot. I have spent time as part of two different covens at separate points in my life, but am currently solitary. One of the things I've longed to be a part of as I get older is to help provide options and education for seekers and established Pagans alike. Working with the other dedicated members of ERIS is one way for me to accomplish this. It is with great honor that I co-chair ERIS along with Janean. In my spare time I enjoy knitting, spinning fiber into yarn, dyeing both the latter, digital photography, reading, cooking, singing, and gourmet chocolate. www.infinitina.com
	Co-chair, Janean Sylvester: Co-chair, Janean Sylvester: I have self-identified as a Norse Heathen for about four years now. I am currently practicing Celtic Wicca and trying to find something in-beween. I'm a member of Stout Oak and HVPN, co-founder of Lakeside Pagan Sanctuary (Brunswick, NY), and a volunteer with National Prison Kindred Alliance. In my spare time (what's that?!) I create websites. www.neaner.com
	Stephen Chast: Tall, Dark... not Pagan, but is engaged to one! Stephen is a self taught energy worker. Along with Tina Martinez, he has co-organized/hosted the first Albany Magic Meet ups and then The Pagan Coffee Club for over 3 years.
	Cherie Livingston: Cherie Livingston, also known as Raven Coldfoot, has been a follower of The Morrigan for ten years. She is a co-moderator for the Mystical Herbs Yahoo Group. An an avid reader who likes to make jewelery in her spare time, Cherie is in process of writing first book, about herbs and their uses.
	Flame Ravenhawk: Flame RavenHawk is a Pagan author who has been teaching and writing about topics of interest to the Pagan community since 1987. Her work has appeared in a variety of publications including Llewellyn’s Wicca Almanac, NewWitch and Elements Magazine. She also maintains an extensive website known as Flame’s Firepit, dedicated to the exploration of Shamanic Wicca and Pagan Philosophy.www.flamesfirepit.org
	Steve Ekey: Pagan since 1971, Steve was formally initiated in 1973. He achieved high priesthood in both Celtic and Alexandrian Wicca in 1976. Steve could not possibly condense his life and adventures into a paragraph.
	Cheryl Sacklow: Cheryl is a solitary Pagan who drifts towards Shaman, Celtic, and Egyptian influences. She honestly considers herself an eclectic witch. She feels that she is constantly learning and growing when it comes to her religious path. In her spare time (ha!) she writes, reads, fiddles with photography, does some occasional crafting, and hangs with her husband.
