Thanks for the invite. I would suggest Jean Ryall - who heads our Texas
government/regulatory affairs team. She is certainly more familiar with the
details (of which there will be many more after this legislative session and
the conclusion of the pilot program). She is also a very good speaker (and
can probably relate a few war stories to spice things up).

Subject: Beta Gamma Sigma

Steve,

I am a member of Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS), the honor society for business
programs accredited by AASCB - The International Association for Management
Education. If you are not familiar with BGS, a member must be in the upper
5% of their class as a junior and the upper 10% as a senior and in graduate
school to be nominated for induction into the society.

In an effort to provide additional programs and benefits to alumni members,
alumni chapters are being developed around the country. There are currently
nine alumni chapters around the U.S. with a new one being formed in the
Houston area. I am serving on a steering committee for the development of
this Houston Area Alumni Chapter. Our primary reasons for starting a Houston
Area Chapter include networking, professional affiliations, outreach to
students, resources, learning opportunities, and providing scholarships.

Our initial outreach to Beta Gamma Sigma members will be through a
reception/dinner to be held in October 2001. We are currently looking at
either October 16 or 18. All 6,200 Houston area members will be invited to
participate, however, we expect attendance to be closer to 75-100 people.
The ages, experiences, and business affiliation of the members will be very
diverse, but all will have the common thread of business excellence.

The details of this event are still being finalized; however, at our last
meeting the discussion encompassed possible speakers and topics.
Overwhelmingly the team decided on Electricity Deregulation in Texas, and
since I work at Enron, I was asked to assist in locating a dynamic speaker.
Cliff Baxter suggested that you would be an ideal speaker on this topic. Are
you available and willing to address this group in October?

If I can provide any additional information, please let me know.

Thank you for your consideration, Steve.
