community first

Where it all started

Van Pappas has never viewed his work as separate from his community. As a longtime Chamblee resident, he has spent decades building relationships with the people and businesses around him. He founded the Chamblee Chamber of Commerce to bring local business owners together, support growth, and strengthen the community he calls home.

Those relationships didn’t just shape his career—they became the foundation of it. Many of the people Van works with today were introduced through friends, neighbors, and long-standing connections built over time.
