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，多样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）专业中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）正在组织一次关于多样性和包容性的前两次峰会的后续活动。第三届TMS峰会将于2018年7月23日至24日在圣巴巴拉的加州大学校园举行。虽然之前的峰会开启了对话，并确定了一个更加多样化和包容性的专业社区所面临的挑战，但DMMM 3将重点关注建立一条通往有意义的参与和切实行动的明确道路。第三届TMS矿产、金属和材料行业多样性峰会将主要关注三个主题：（1）让与会者参与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）通过建立知情和积极的措施和指标，衡量进展并确保所有人的积极成果;（3）通过建立有效的措施和指标，确保所有人的积极成果。及（3）透过推行工作场所文化及政策的改变，以转变专业团体。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，峰会将包括互动讨论，小组讨论和几个专业发展的机会。观众将包括近150名与会者，他们将有机会听取来自行业，学术界和政府的30多位特邀演讲者的演讲。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
