Randolph-Macon College President Robert Lindgren and Board of Trustees Chair Sue Schick are pleased to announce the appointments of two distinguished alumnae to the College’s Board of Trustees.

“Cindy and Erica are accomplished individuals, who each bring a unique set of new professional and personal experiences to our ranks,” said Board Chair Sue Schick. “Their RMC experiences as students were formative and as alumnae, significant. We are very pleased to welcome their insights to our governing body.”

Cindy Crabill Szadokierski

Cindy Szadokierski is a Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa graduate of Randolph-Macon College from which she earned a B.A. in French and Education in 1981. Basketball first attracted her to RMC, and she became the first 1,000-point scorer in Yellow Jackets women’s basketball history.

After earning a master’s degree at James Madison University, Ms. Szadokierski served as a high school French teacher for five years, before joining United Airlines. She worked in many aspects of the airline including leadership roles in sales, reservations, human resources and airport management. She was responsible for managing all of United’s activities at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, United’s most significant hub, and retired from the airline after 30 years of service as the Vice President of Airport Operations Planning and United Express Operations and Contracts, responsible for all International Operations in the 64 countries where United served. She then returned to Ashland to lead RMC’s EDGE program as its Executive Director from 2015 to 2017.

In April of 2017, Ms. Szadokierski left the College for a unique opportunity to live and work in India, where she was Vice President of Worldwide Airport Operations for IndiGo, the then-fastest growing low-cost carrier in the world. Cindy is now retired and turning her full attention to travel and humanitarian work in Cambodia, where she and her husband Mark are building a school. Their commitment to the country is a central part of their life today; they directly sponsor two children from Cambodia and enrich the lives of many others suffering from extreme poverty. 

Cindy and her husband Mark now reside in Southport, North Carolina.
