We’re thankful to everyone who supports Near Me Enterprises and the work we do across Oklahoma.
I want to use this post to talk about something bigger than a nomination.
OKCYP is a place for young professionals to build real connections, grow as leaders and find ways to give back to our community.
It’s scary, but Oklahoma City’s future is shaped by us, yes us, the young professionals who don’t know what we are doing.
If you’re a young professional in the OKC area looking to meet good people, grow your leadership skills or get more connected to the community, take a look at OKCYP and get involved, for yourself and our community. We are the future so let’s learn together.
Learn more at okcyp.com/join. Your involvement can make a difference for you and for Oklahoma City.
🏆 Meet Caitlin Washington with Near Me Enterprises: Entrepreneur of the Year, Small Business of the Year AND Woman of the Year Nominee
Managing Partner at Near Me Enterprises, Caitlin is building a construction company on one rule: never cut corners for profit. Her team’s gutter crew just wrapped a full year of installs with zero callbacks, and Near Me is a Top 5 construction company nominee for the 2026 Best of 405 and Community Choice Awards. 🏠
She’s also known as the “employer of second chances,” and she gives back as a Youth and Family Services board member, chair of United Way of Central Oklahoma Emerging Leaders, and a United Way board member.
Her take on growth: “Growth is great, but not at the expense of your values.” 🙌
Three nominations, all well earned. Congrats, Caitlin! 👏💙
