Omaha, NE-- I first entered the COVR Awards in 2017 and I know firsthand the excitement that comes with being a finalist and realizing that others out there also enjoy your work! Since joining the COVR Board of Directors in 2019 and taking the helm of the Visionary Awards program, my vision has been to build upon the strong foundation of the COVR Awards to help take it to the next level.
As a small business owner, I love seeing independent creators and new businesses enter the awards and receive recognition next to the larger, more well-known names in our industry. My goal for the COVR Visionary Awards is to help foster inclusivity to highlight the rich diversity that makes up all facets of the Mind/Body/Spirit community.
I’m Alex Fernandez and I serve as the Vice President of COVR and the Director of the COVR Visionary Awards. I’ve been interested in all things magical my entire life and I’ve worked as a member of the Mind/Body/Spirit industry since 2012. In addition to co-owning a metaphysical retail store, Hearthside Candles & Curios, here in Nebraska, I also teach classes, read tarot, and produce a wide range of spiritual products under my brand, Polaris Rising.
Thank you for being a part of COVR, for participating in and supporting the COVR Visionary Awards—know that we see you and the profound impact you have on the Mind/Body/Spirit industry and the wider community that it supports. The Coalition of Visionary Resources is here to support you in your conscious living business in any way we can.
Alex Fernandez,
COVR Visionary Awards Director
Vice President, COVR
