Marilyn - "A graduate of the Harvard Executive Business School, "

So, did she go to Harvard Business School or its on-line program in 'Executive Education,' which doesn't actually provide a degree but allows managers to take courses on-line for up to 2-30 days in topics such as 'Families in Business'. Methinks it's the latter.
