It is well recognized that a diverse workforce can lead to gains in productivity, competitiveness, and creativity. However, the rich diversity of the full U.S. population is often underutilized among the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions. To address this issue, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) is organizing a follow-up event to its previous two summits on diversity and inclusion. The third TMS summit on Diversity in the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Professions (DMMM3) will take place on the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara from July 23-24, 2018. While previous summits opened the conversation and identified the challenges to a more diverse and inclusive professional community, DMMM3 will focus on establishing a clear path to meaningful engagement and tangible action. The third TMS summit on Diversity in the Minerals, Metals, and Materials Professions will primarily focus on three themes: (1) Engaging participants on the most recent social-science findings in the areas of diversity and inclusion while exploring current issues and potential solutions; (2) Measuring progress and ensuring positive outcomes for all through the establishment of well-informed and proactive measures and metrics; and (3) Transforming the professional community by implementing changes in workplace cultures and policies. To help equip attendees with their own toolbox of knowledge and skills to address diversity and inclusion in their workplace, the summit will include interactive discussions, panels, and several opportunities for professional development. The audience will include nearly 150 attendees who will have the opportunity to hear from more than 30 invited speakers from across industry, academia, and government.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

众所周知，多元化的劳动力可以提高生产力、竞争力和创造力。然而，美国人口的丰富多样性在科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 专业领域往往没有得到充分利用。为了解决这个问题，矿物、金属和材料协会 (TMS) 正在组织前两次关于多样性和包容性峰会的后续活动。第三届 TMS 矿物、金属和材料专业多样性峰会 (DMMM3) 将于 2018 年 7 月 23 日至 24 日在加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校校园举行。虽然之前的峰会开启了对话并确定了更加多元化和包容性的专业社区面临的挑战，但 DMMM3 将重点关注建立一条明确的道路，以实现有意义的参与和切实行动。第三届 TMS 矿物、金属和材料行业多样性峰会将主要关注三个主题： (1) 让与会者了解多样性和包容性领域的最新社会科学发现，同时探讨当前问题和潜在解决方案； (2) 通过制定消息灵通、积极主动的措施和指标，衡量进展情况并确保所有人取得积极成果； (3) 通过实施工作场所文化和政策的变革来改变专业社区。为了帮助与会者掌握自己的知识和技能工具箱，以解决工作场所的多样性和包容性问题，峰会将包括互动讨论、小组讨论和一些专业发展机会。观众将包括近 150 名与会者，他们将有机会聆听来自行业、学术界和政府的 30 多位受邀演讲者的演讲。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
