DoverStaffing was founded in 1996 by Sanquinetta Dover, President. The company’s participation in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program proved to be a valuable source of opportunities and experience for the company even after Dover’s graduation from the program.
