He would be raised in the environment of BJ Palmer's leadership and school domination and the acquisition of the broadcasting empire that shaped the profession and its ultimate acceptance. With the investiture of David D. Palmer as the third president of the Palmer School, a new era of academic and professional growth took place at the Palmer institutions. During his presidency, transition of the school from proprietary to a non-profit status was achieved, as was full accreditation.
