PARIS — The Board of Selectmen chose its chairman and vice chairman Monday evening. 

Barring their own abstentions, selectmen unanimously voted to name Robert Wessels Chairman and Michael Risica Vice Chairman. 

Wessels was first elected in 2012 for a one-year term and re-elected in 2013.

Michael Risica, a longtime member of the Planning Board, was elected to his first term as selectman during a runoff election last week.
