Behind every successful event is someone who works tirelessly behind the scenes, and for the 100 Black Men of West Texas Scholarship Events, that person is Autry Freeman. Her countless hours of planning, organizing, and attention to every detail helped make our events, and especially this year's luncheon, a tremendous success. Over the years, from the early preparations to the final moments of the event, Autry's commitment to our mission never wavers. Because of her hard work and passion, our scholarship recipients are celebrated in a meaningful way, and our community comes together to invest in the next generation of leaders. Autry, thank you for your leadership, your servant's heart, and your unwavering dedication to the 100 Black Men of West Texas. Your efforts make a lasting impact, and we are truly grateful.

Need an event organized and planned? Autry is the one to do so. She helped put together a ribbon-cutting for a large-scale solar farm and we received an experience. She took care of everything, from setting up the location to catering and shuttling. If we ever do another event in the area we will call Autry again.
— Frank Velazquez, Clearway Energy

Gather by Autry designed, organized, and ran my office's grand opening. Everything was so smooth and I didn't have to do a thing but enjoy the party! Food was beautifully plated and the bar was staffed and serviced perfectly! Gather had cups designed with our logo that really set the whole thing off! People left with re-usable cups with our logo and we were left with enough to hand out to our first several patients! I would use Autry's services again and again!!

Autry is a delight to work with! Due to unfortunate circumstances she was asked to step into a catering and event planning role at the last minute for my daughter's wedding reception. She was amazing — insightful, resourceful, and attentive through it all. We are forever grateful to her for making this reception just as we had imagined.

Autry and her team helped arrange our wedding reception, and they were excellent! Attentive to detail, creative, full of initiative — she treated our wedding like it was her own very important party. She is very easy to work with and is a lovely person. We highly recommend Autry for any festivity.

— Elena Ilyushyna & Nicholas Dragga

I didn't feel like I had to do a thing — you probably noticed. I knew you had it under control, and my favorite moment of the night was when you appeared beside me with wine to fill my glass. What a dear you are, taking care of me like that. You made it flow so beautifully and everything was just perfect. Now that is the way to have a party — put it in someone else's capable hands! So thank you, I loved working with you and look forward to doing it again.

— Nancy Harman

I have been able to count on Autry to handle all the details of many events we have had in the past, medium sized and very large. Love your creativity, Autry!

— Jana Scheef

Autry treated my small, neighborhood party as if it were as important as a big, society wedding. It was to me. And to her.
