Sen. David Sibley, co-chair of the Electric Utility Restructuring Legislative Oversight Committee, will speak on "Deregulation of Electrical Power in Texas" from 10:30 a.m. to noon Friday, April 6, in the Armstrong Browning Library Treasure Room.
In addition to Baylor students and faculty, a group of MBA students from the Shandong Electric Power Company (SEPCO) of China, who have a special interest in the possibilities for market-oriented reform of the electric power industry, will attend.

First elected to the Texas Senate in 1991, he is serving a fourth session as chairman of the Senate Business and Commerce Committee and also serves on the Education and Health and Human Service committees.
Sibley is a graduate of Baylor University, Baylor College of Dentistry and Baylor Law School. He was appointed to Baylor's Board of Regents in November 1996.
