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带来生产力，竞争力和创造力的提高。但是，在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）专业中，美国全部人口的丰富多样性通常不足。为了解决这个问题，矿物质，金属和材料协会（TMS）正在为前两个有关多样性和包容性的峰会组织一次后续活动。 2018年7月23日至24日，在加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的校园举行了第三次TMS关于矿物质，金属和材料专业多样性（DMMM3）的TMS峰会。尽管以前的峰会开放了对话，并确定了对更多样化和包容性的专业社区的挑战，而DMMM3将重点介绍DIMM3，但DMM3将重点介绍明确的行动，以实现意义上的意义和有意义的行动。关于矿物质，金属和材料专业多样性的第三次TMS峰会将主要关注三个主题：（1）参与者在探索当前问题和潜在解决方案的同时，在多样性和包容性领域中参与最新的社会科学发现； （2）通过建立良好和积极的措施和指标来衡量进步并确保所有人的积极成果； （3）通过实施工作场所文化和政策的变化来改变专业社区。为了帮助与会者提供自己的知识和技能工具箱，以解决其工作场所的多样性和包容性，首脑会议将包括互动讨论，小组讨论以及一些专业发展的机会。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多位受邀演讲者的来信。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准的评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
