Celebrating local achievements on April 24, 2025, Yakym visited Spheros in Elkhart, Indiana.

Later that day, Yakym acknowledged another enterprise in Elkhart. He tweeted, "Great to meet the team at ThermoDyne in Elkhart and tour their impressive facility. They’re building cutting-edge insulation tech for our military and doubling down on investment in our community!"
