Dettmer has been a member of GCSAA for 34 years and became a CGCS in 1996. He is currently a member of the Carolinas GCSA. Dettmer was a member of the Heart of America GCSA and served on the board.

Beginning on June 19, Dettmer will be the GCSAA liaison from his home office in Charlotte for GCSAA-affiliated chapters in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. GCSAA has nine regional field staff members who maintain direct communication with 95 affiliated chapters in North America.
