Robert Diggs

Senior Associate

Diggs joined NPAG in the Fall of 2021 and was promoted to Senior Associate in the Spring of 2023. Along the way, he has developed a generalist practice that spans the breadth of our clients, as well as the positionality of the searches we undertake.

Diggs joined NPAG with nearly a decade of operations and strategy experience across the for profit, and nonprofit sectors. He joined NPAG after a year and a half with RSA US, one of three international affiliates of the global fellowship organization the RSA (royal society for the encouragement of the arts, manufactures and commerce). There he led community management, external partner relations, virtual event strategy, and project managed the launch of the Decolonizing Design Coalition. Prior to RSA US, Diggs spent just over five years at the Pennsylvania Consortium for the Liberal Arts (PCLA) – a higher education consortium of eleven small liberal arts colleges. Originally hired as employee #2 by the founding executive director, Diggs spent his final two years leading or overseeing board relations, daily operations, grants management, and strategic planning efforts as a one-person office.

Outside of NPAG, Diggs is currently serving as secretary of the board of the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance – the charitable sector watchdog of the BBB ecosystem.

Diggs holds a bachelor’s degree from Franklin & Marshall College and received a Certificate in Nonprofit Executive Leadership from Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis. He is also a proud graduate of The Lawrenceville School, Prep for Prep (Prep 9), the Brooklyn School for Collaborative Studies, P.S. 20K, and Little Sun People.

A native Brooklynite, Diggs makes his home in Lancaster, PA, is a long-time Mets fan, a new fan of the Premier League club Brentford F.C. and enjoys playing and watching tennis.
