A Carmel resident for over 30 years, McDermott joined the Board of Directors for the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in 2010, prior to the opening of the Palladium. He has since served the Allied Solutions Center's Board in multiple capacities, including as a member of its Executive Committee, Development Committee, Audit Committee, Finance Committee, Governance Committee and as its legal counsel.

In 2011, McDermott joined the Board of Directors of the Great American Songbook Foundation as its second Board Chairman. During his tenure, the Foundation permanently affiliated with the Allied Solutions Center, attracted new members to its national Board of Directors, increased its donor base, significantly added to its archives, and expanded its national Songbook Academy to every state in the continental United States.
