Northern Christian Radio (NCR) CEO/Executive Director Pat Scott tells HisAir he plans to retire at the end of this year. After a career in sales at AT&T, Pat joined NCR in March 2013 and shortly thereafter was promoted to CEO.
In Sept this year Pat co-authored the book: “The Tower and the Cross: A Biblical Roadmap for Christian Media in the AI Era.” In the book, Pat co author is Lorne Ray, a Christian AI educator. Together, invite Christian media leaders into a thoughtful, Christ-centered conversation about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its role in ministry today.
