Access Base Page property from Master Base Page class

Hi all and thanks in advance.

I have created a base page that defines two classes, one that manages variables for the pages themselves and one that manages the output of the Master pages: 

 public class MyBasePage : BasePage
 {
      public bool IsEmployee;

      protected new void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          base.Page_Init(sender,e);
          IsEmployee = GetEmployee();
      }
 }

 public class MyMasterBasePage : BaseMasterPage
 {
     public new void Page_Init(Object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
          base.Page_Init(sender,e);
          session = GetSession();
     }
 }

I need to access the IsEmployee from the master page. I tried actually calling an instance of the base page on the master page and then trying to invoke it but the bool comes back false and I tried to do the same directly from the class with the same results. I could put the values into session but I really don't want to do that. Is there another way to access the variable?

public class MyMasterBasePage : BaseMasterPage
{
  ...
  private bool IsEmployee
  {
    get
    {
      if (Page is MyBasePage)
        return ((MyBasePage)Page).IsEmployee;
      else
        return false;
    }
  }
}

Update:

public class MyBasePage : BasePage
{
  public bool? isEmployee;
  public bool IsEmployee
  {
    get
    {
      if (!isEmployee.HasValue)
      {
        isEmployee.Value = GetEmployee();
      }
      return isEmployee.Value;
    }
  }

}

And remove line

IsEmployee = GetEmployee();

from MyBasePage.Page_Init.
